Discussion Guide for Dilexi te
Dilexi te (Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Leo XIV, 2025) reflects a vision of a Church renewed through love, simplicity, and justice. Issued on October 4, 2025, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, continues Pope Francis’s legacy of compassion for the poor and care for creation. Pope Leo XIV calls Christians to recognize the face of Christ in the poor and to unite worship with social action. Drawing from Scripture, Catholic Social Teaching, and Franciscan spirituality, Dilexi te invites the global Church to move from charity as sentiment to love as justice, building a world rooted in dignity, solidarity, and mercy.
