ACI Prensa Staff, Oct 17, 2025 \/ 12:42 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

Pope Leo XIV on Friday asked a group of Catholic pilgrims from Russia, in Rome on a Jubilee pilgrimage, to be an example of love and brotherhood upon their return home.<\/p>\n

In his Oct. 17 address at the Vatican, the Holy Father emphasized that the presence of the Russian pilgrims \u201cis part of the journey of so many generations\u201d who have traveled to Rome. <\/p>\n

For the Holy Father, \u201cthis city can be a symbol of human existence, in which the \u2019ruins\u2019 of past experiences, anguish, uncertainty, and anxiety are intertwined with the faith that grows every day and becomes active in charity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd with the hope that does not disappoint and encourages us, because even on the ruins, despite sin and enmity, the Lord can build a new world and renewed life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Bishop Joseph Werth of the Diocese of the Transfiguration in Novosibirsk, Russia, told EWTN News after the meeting that Pope Leo took the time to greet the entire group of around 100 pilgrims, despite being scheduled to only greet the people in the front rows. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a sign that the pope wanted to dedicate time to us,\u201d Werth said.<\/p>\n

Leo encouraged the Catholics from Russia to continue the path of Christian life upon returning home, appealing to their responsibility in their local Church.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom your families, from your parish and diocesan communities, may an example of love, fraternity, solidarity, and mutual respect emerge for all the people among whom you live, work, and study,\u201d he urged them. <\/p>\n

In this way, he affirmed that \u201cthe fire of Christian love can be kindled, capable of warming the coldness of hearts, even the most hardened.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Rome, the pontiff specified, \u201cthe heart of the Christian soul beats\u201d and it is where \u201cthe events of the faith \u2014 received and transmitted since apostolic times, from which so many peoples and nations have drunk abundantly and from which they still live today \u2014 are intertwined with the concerns and commitments of daily life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leo XIV also pointed out the monuments scattered throughout the Eternal City, \u201ctangible signs of living faith, rooted in the hearts of people, capable of transforming consciences and motivating them to do good.\u201d <\/p>\n

He emphasized that every Catholic \u201cis a living stone in the building of the Church\u201d who, even if small, placed by the Lord in the right place, \u201cplays an important role in the stability of the entire structure.\u201d<\/p>\n
