Ángelus, 6 de septiembre de 2026

In brief

Pope Francis addressed the faithful during the Angelus on September 6, 2026, stating that the Sunday liturgy provides essential principles for how Christians should think and act. He noted that the commandments summarize into the instruction to love one's neighbor as oneself.

The Pope explained that while Jesus taught people to ask for forgiveness for their debts, Christians have a mutual debt to love one another. He said that receiving care and goodness makes people more free and responsible.

During his address, the Pope highlighted two ways for Christian communities to practice this mutual love. He identified fraternal correction as a delicate art that requires sincerity and a gradual approach. He suggested that people should speak directly to one another first, then involve two or three people if necessary, and finally involve the whole community if the situation requires it. He cautioned that complaining and speaking ill of others are easier paths that paralyze situations rather than resolving conflicts.
