“In 2025, our hearts must yield to the Heart of Jesus, Prince of Peace, because we know that if we do not clothe ourselves in his virtues, we will remain at the mercy of that overwhelming force that corrupts our freedom and drags us into sin.

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

«I thirst, says Jesus, and in this way he manifests his humanity and also ours. None of us can be self-sufficient. No-one can save themselves. Life is “fulfilled” not when we are strong, but when we learn how to receive. It is precisely at that moment, after receiving from unknown hands a sponge soaked in vinegar, that Jesus proclaims: It is finished. Love has made itself needy, and precisely for this reason it has accomplished its work.

This is the Christian paradox: God saves not by doing, but by letting himself do. Not by defeating evil with force, but by accepting the weakness of love to the very end. On the cross, Jesus teaches us that man does not realize himself in power, but in trustful openness to others, even when they are hostile and enemies. Salvation is not found in autonomy, but in humbly recognizing one’s own need and in being able to express it freely.»

(Pope Leo XIV)
