Leo XIV in Francis' Footsteps: "Poor Are Center of Gospel" - "Earth Weeps"
“It is a good sign of unity, already agreed with beloved Pope Francis, whom we feel spiritually present also at this time.” He reminded the prelates that Francis has visited Madagascar in 2019.
Then, Leo XIV repeated Francis’ mantra that “the poor are at the centre of the Gospel”. And, “Following Pope Francis, I invite you to take care of our common home, to preserve the beauty of the Great Island, whose beauty and fragility have been entrusted to you. Care for our home is an integral part of your prophetic mission."
He asked the bishops to "take care of creation, which weeps."
