CWN Editor's Note: In a July 5 audience, Pope Leo XIV received young people from the Diocese of Copenhagen, Denmark, as well as Catholic school teachers from Ireland, England, Wales, and Scotland.
“Remember that God has created each one of you with a purpose and a mission in this life,” the Pope said to the young people. “Use this opportunity for listening, for prayer, so that you may hear more clearly God’s voice calling you deep within your hearts ... And through that listening you might be open to allowing God’s grace to strengthen your faith in Jesus, so that you might more readily share that gift with others.”
Students “look to you particularly as to how you teach and how you live,” the Pope told the teachers. “I hope that, each day, you will nurture your relationship with Christ, who gives us the pattern of all authentic teaching, so that, in turn, you may guide and encourage those entrusted to your care to follow Christ in their own lives.”
