One year ago, Pope Francis returned to the house of the Father on Easter day.
Today, as we remember him, we listen to the voice of the one who carries his witness forward.
In his letter to the cardinals of 12 April 2026, Pope Leo XIV recognized in Evangelii Gaudium “a breath of fresh air” that continues to guide the Church. His words are not a commentary on the past: they are an invitation to continue the journey.
Kerygma. Attraction. A Church that goes out. Small flock. Listening. A mission that does not seek itself, but communicates God’s love for the world.
A voice that continues.
On the way to the Consistory of 26–27 June.
