Imagine this: Rome, packed with close to a million young joyful Catholics 🌍 At the center of it all is Pope Leo, descending from the sky in a helicopter. This happened at the Jubilee of Youth.
John and Sarah on Morning Air were all lit up talking about it… like, giddy excited.
🗣️ Then Came the Moment:
One teen from the U.S., Will, asked this: “How can we truly encounter the risen Lord in our lives and be sure of his presence even in the midst of trials and uncertainties?”
🔥 Highlights from Pope Leo’s Response:
Jesus is your friend, not some far-off idea, but someone walking beside you… always.
Want to meet Him?
📖 Listen to the Gospel
✨ Reflect on how you’re living
🤲 Serve the poor
⛪ Adore Jesus in the Eucharist
🛠️ Study, work, and love like Jesus did
And then this line that hits you right in the soul: “Without you, Lord, we cannot do the good we desire.”
💬 It gets even better:
Pope Leo reminded everyone that we find Jesus in the Church, in community, and in each other, especially when we sincerely seek Him. ✝️
He quoted Saint Augustine: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
And then, he gave the ultimate mission call: “Say to the Lord: ‘Thank you, Jesus, for calling me.’ And may others encounter Jesus through you; yes, even in your flaws.”
So, wherever you are, just whisper it: “Thank you, Jesus, for calling me.”
And keep walking. He’s already walking with you.
