Pope to ecclesial movements: Always keep Jesus at the centre.
In an audience with moderators of lay associations, ecclesial movements, and new communities, Pope Leo highlights hierarchical and charismatic gifts as essential aspects of the Church.
Pope Leo XIV on Friday encouraged leaders of lay associations and charismatic movements to “always keep the Lord Jesus at the centre” of their journeys. This, he said, “is the essential thing, and charisms are meant to serve this purpose.”
The Holy Father addressed his remarks to moderators, international leaders, and delegates of ecclesial associations recognized or established by the Holy See, who are in Rome for an annual meeting organized by the Dicastery for Laity, the Family and Life.
