October 9, 2025“Dilexi Te”, the first Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Leo XIV, is a heartfelt call to rediscover the face of Christ in the poor and the forgotten. It reminds all Christians that love for the poor is not merely an act of charity, but a participation in God’s own compassion and justice. The document insists that true discipleship is measured not by wealth or prestige, but by the willingness to stand with those who suffer and to share in their burdens. Pope Leo XIV frames poverty not as a curse to be despised but as a sacred encounter where grace and human solidarity meet. Ultimately, Dilexi Te calls the Church to move from mere almsgiving to genuine communion, a love that transforms both the giver and the world.
