"God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” (1 Jn 4:16). This is the heart of the Gospel, the heart of Christ. Whoever immerses themselves in it no longer lives for themselves. I give thanks for the abundant witnesses of faith and charity I have experienced on this #ApostolicJourney to #Spain.

Let us remember that we are the living presence of the Lord in the world. Enkindled by the charity of Christ's Heart, let us bear witness to His mercy and peace, so that wars may cease in the world and a new humanity may rise up around us, reconciled in love. #ApostolicJourney

From this square, I wish to address a clear message to those who take advantage of people’s desperation, to those who organize death routes, traffic in human beings, withhold documents, exploit workers, threaten women, deceive families, and turn the suffering of others into a business. Stop! Repent! (Mk 1:15) #ApostolicJourney

The Sacred Heart of Jesus reveals God’s unconditional love for us all. Mary’s immaculate heart reveals her total love for God, with all her heart, mind, soul and strength.

Doy gracias a Dios y a todos los que me han acogido y que, de mil maneras, han colaborado en la preparación y la realización de los distintos momentos en Madrid, Barcelona, Montserrat y en las Islas Canarias. Regreso a Roma conmovido por el gran afecto con el que me han recibido, y reconfortado por los testimonios de fe y de amor a la Iglesia, expresiones del gran corazón católico de España.

The Basílica de la Sagrada Família is one of the most famous churches in the world and a masterpiece of Christian architecture. Located in Barcelona, Spain, the basilica was begun in 1882, originally under the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. A year later, the project was entrusted to the brilliant Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, who completely transformed its vision and design.
Gaudí dedicated most of his life to the Sagrada Família, combining Gothic and Art Nouveau styles with deep Catholic symbolism. Every part of the church - from its towers and façades to its columns and stained glass - was designed to reflect aspects of the Christian faith, the life of Jesus Christ, and the beauty of creation.
Construction progressed slowly because the project depended mainly on donations. After Gaudí’s tragic death in 1926, the basilica remained unfinished. Parts of his original plans and models were also destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, making the continuation of the work even more difficult.
Despite these challenges, construction continued through the decades using modern technology and the surviving designs of Gaudí. In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and declared it a minor basilica.
The Sagrada Família remains unfinished to this day, though it is nearing completion. More than just a tourist attraction, it stands as a monumental expression of faith, beauty, sacrifice, and human creativity dedicated to the glory of God.
Today, Pope Leo XIV visited La Sagrada Família Basilica in Barcelona and offered the Holy Mass. During the visit, he blessed and inaugurated the newly completed Tower of Jesus Christ to celebrate the 100th death anniversary of Antoni Gaudi.

I use the words physical hygiene and emotional hygiene. We should pay equally important attention to the hygiene of our emotions. Physical hygiene keeps us physically fit — but full of anger, what use is that? Real hygiene is emotional: peaceful, compassionate emotion. That is the real inner hygiene.

Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico

Every human being is worthy by the mere fact of having been willed, created, and loved by God. There is no situation that causes the Lord to turn His gaze away from us. It is a consoling truth that accompanies us at all times and reminds us that His merciful love always outweighs whatever good or evil we may have done. #ApostolicJourney

Life’s mistakes do not define a person’s identity. If we trust in divine grace and allow ourselves to be guided and transformed by it, we discover in our lives that the past does not condemn the future, but rather offers us the possibility to change our decisions and choices.

God loves you just as you are, but He dreams of you being even better! The Lord allows us all to start anew, for being human and being Christian does not mean never making mistakes, but rather growing in the ability to convert, repent, make amends and, above all, to reconcile and forgive.

Let us make room for the Lord in our hearts and seek His face. Let us allow His love to guide us. Let us cling to Him, who continually invites us to hope and shows us a wonderful horizon that no physical barrier can prevent us from reaching. Today, Jesus continues to speak to us in the depths of our consciences, helping us discover that He dwells among us. He is only waiting for us to give Him a chance.

THE CATHOLIC RULE OF LIFE I WISH SOMEONE HAD TAUGHT ME SOONER
A few years ago, I thought becoming a better Catholic meant learning more.
More theology.
More apologetics.
More books.
More Catholic content.
Those things are good.
But I eventually discovered something surprising.
Most saints did not become saints because they knew more.
They became saints because they consistently did a few simple things every day.
That realization changed how I view the spiritual life.
So after studying Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and the lives of the saints, I began noticing a pattern.
Different saints.
Different centuries.
Different personalities.
Yet they all built their lives around the same foundations.
If someone asked me today:
“How do I actually live like Jesus Christ every day?”
This is the framework I would share.
And honestly, it is the framework I am still trying to live myself.
1. GIVE GOD THE FIRST MOMENT OF YOUR DAY
Before the notifications.
Before the messages.
Before the news.
Before social media.
Give God the first moment.
Make the Sign of the Cross.
Thank Him for another day.
Offer everything to Him.
The first voice you hear should not be the world.
It should be God.
2. READ THE GOSPEL BEFORE YOU READ OPINIONS
One verse.
One paragraph.
One chapter.
Whatever you can manage.
The point is simple:
Let Christ shape your mind before the world shapes it for you.
Many of us spend hours consuming information and only minutes receiving formation.
That imbalance affects everything.
3. PROTECT THE STATE OF GRACE LIKE YOUR GREATEST TREASURE
Because it is.
The Church teaches that sanctifying grace is God's own life within the soul.
Nothing on earth is worth losing that.
Not success.
Not money.
Not pleasure.
Not popularity.
Go to Confession regularly.
Take sin seriously.
Take God's mercy even more seriously.
4. BUILD YOUR LIFE AROUND THE EUCHARIST
The saints never got tired of speaking about the Eucharist.
Neither should we.
The closer they drew to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the more they began to resemble Him.
Sunday Mass is the minimum.
Not the goal.
If possible, attend daily Mass.
Visit Jesus in Adoration.
Stay after Communion.
Speak to Him.
Listen to Him.
Remain with Him.
5. STOP LOOKING FOR HOLINESS IN EXTRAORDINARY THINGS
Most holiness happens in ordinary moments.
Being patient when you are tired.
Forgiving when you would rather hold a grudge.
Remaining kind when someone is difficult.
Serving when nobody notices.
The saints did not become saints because they did spectacular things every day.
They became saints because they loved God in ordinary circumstances.
6. CARRY YOUR CROSS INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM IT
Every day brings a cross.
A disappointment.
A struggle.
A wound.
A sacrifice.
A burden nobody else sees.
Modern culture says:
“Avoid suffering.”
Jesus says:
“Follow Me.”
The difference is enormous.
One path seeks comfort.
The other seeks transformation.

Thank you, Dr.
Also reduce excessive energy drink and painkiller use, stay hydrated - DRINK ENOUGH WATER, cut down excess salt and alcohol, and go for regular medical checkups. The kidneys often fail silently.
May God help us🙏
Kidney failure is on the rise and it’s alarming. It used to be a disease mostly seen in people in their 40s, 50s and above. Now, people as young as 20 are having their kidneys pack up.
I cannot emphasize this enough: please check your blood pressure religiously.

The human heart is not filled by accumulating experiences, possibilities, or temporary guarantees; it is filled when it discovers a call, when it understands that life reaches fullness only if it is given. Following Christ does not impoverish existence, but expands it. #ApostolicJourney

Don't be overly sensitive and take things too personally. At times, people behave the way they do because of the burdens they’re carrying. Be kind. Try and put yourself in their shoes and empathize. If you can’t, be nice and don’t hurt them. You’ll have a more peaceful life.
