Pope Leo XIV issues his first Apostolic Exhortation, “Dilexi te”

Pope Leo XIV has released Dilexi te (Latin for- I have loved you) which is the first major document of his papacy and focuses on the priority for all Christians to love and care for the poor.

If you would like to read this document you can find it HERE or for a great summary check out this LINK.

My initial reading is that it is full of great encouragement for all people to have special priority for caring for the poor and connecting the teaches of Jesus with this priority. It also gives us an insight into what is important for our new Pope.

We are fortunate at Notre Dame College that many of our students have a great care for those less fortunate than themselves and are always finding ways to support local charities and make a real difference in the lives of others. From our Caritas Ks fundraisers and House Fundraisers to our current Christmas Present Toy Drive, our community are always looking out for others with love and compassion.
