Pope Leo XIV Urges Catholics to Embrace New Missionary Work Focusing on Migrants
Pope Leo XIV has addressed the Catholic Church, urging members to embrace a new form of missionary work that focuses on welcoming and assisting migrants. In his latest address, the Pope criticised anti-immigrant policies and praised those who work in the service of migrants.
The Pope called for Catholics to be missionaries at home, showing compassion and solidarity towards migrants. He stated that the frontiers of the missions are no longer geographical, as poverty, suffering, and the desire for hope have made their way to us. He identified the global South as a key source for renewed missionary cooperation, urging churches with old Christian traditions in the West to see brothers and sisters from the South as an opportunity for exchange to renew the face of the Church and foster a more open, lively, and dynamic Christianity.
Pope Leo XIV also praised those who work in the service of migrants and promote a culture of fraternity on the theme of migration. He called for a new form of missionary cooperation that taps into the lively faith of many migrants and refugees. He asked missionaries to live with respect within the culture they encounter and direct all that is true and worthy to the good, while bringing the prophetic message of the Gospel.
Pope Leo XIV's message is clear: no one should be forced to flee, exploited, or mistreated due to their status as foreigners or people in need. The Pope's call for a new form of missionary cooperation that welcomes and assists migrants is a reminder of the Catholic Church's duty to show compassion and solidarity towards those in need.
