Pope Leo XIV encouraged young people to use social media and artificial intelligence (AI) prudently because \u201cthey can immerse us in an unreal world.\u201d<\/p>\n

In einer video message<\/a> to participants at the 2026 Halleluya Festival in Fortaleza, Brazil, the pontiff proposed St. Carlo Acutis, known for using digital technologies to evangelize, as a model for new generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe shows how to keep Christ always at the center, even when using technology,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Taking that example as a reference, Leo XIV, who published his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas<\/em><\/a>, on AI in May, advised young people to use both social media and artificial intelligence appropriately.<\/p>\n

\u201cI advise you to use social media and artificial intelligence well, employing these tools in a moderate and disciplined manner, because they can immerse us in an unreal world where the ephemeral, mere appearance, and deception end up taking the place of true values \u200b\u200band what really matters,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

Addressing the participants at the youth evangelization event, which combines music, praise, and worship, the pontiff highlighted the spiritual fruits the initiative has yielded over the years, mentioning \u201cconfessions, conversions, and priestly and religious vocations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I would like to say once again how good it is to be with young people. Your enthusiasm is contagious and awakens a renewed apostolic zeal in all of us,\u201d the Holy Father stated.<\/p>\n

He also noted that young Catholics possess \u201ca missionary vigor indispensable for transforming this world, which is in such need of the Gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n

He thus strongly urged them: \u201cNever lose this missionary zeal!\u201d<\/p>\n

The pope emphasized that there are still many people who need to discover that Christ answers the deepest aspirations of the human heart. In this context, he invited young people to proclaim the Christian faith without fear.<\/p>\n

\u201cProclaim with courage that a life without Christ is a life without grace. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life,\u201d he declared, quoting the Gospel of St. John.<\/p>\n

Le\u00f3n XIV drew upon one of St. John Paul II\u2019s most well-known expressions to invite young people to place their full trust in the Lord.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not be afraid of Christ. He takes nothing away; he gives everything,\u201d he affirmed, noting that whoever gives himself to the Savior \u201creceives a hundredfold\u201d and \u201calways emerges victorious.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pope asked the Holy Spirit to rekindle in young people a love capable of transforming their youth into an evangelizing force and to turn them into \u201cliving stones\u201d for the building of a \u201ccity of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pope Leo XIV imparted his apostolic blessing to all the participants and organizers of the Halleluya Festival: \u201cMay God always be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
