Video Message: Leo XIV Quotes the Jewish Talmud and the Islamic Haddith
Addressing a diverse religious audience comprising doctors, nurses, social workers, speech therapists, friends, and family, Pope Leo XIV flattered them.
Addressing the “Jewish brothers and sisters”, he used the Hebrew phrase “tikkun olam” (תיקון עולם), which literally means “repair of the world” or “fixing the world”. This phrase originates from the Talmud and also appears in later Kabbalistic writings.
To the Muslims, Leo XIV quoted the Haddith legend: "We are told that 70,000 angels are present when caretakers arrive in the morning. Another 70,000 angels arrive in the evening. I believe that you too are angels."
Finally, Leo XIV prayed — but to whom? - that the patients may surrender themselves to the mystery of human existence, to the love of their caregivers, and to the embrace of "the Divine One".
