CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV received members of the Pontifical Portuguese College in Rome and said that “a college consecrated to the Heart of Christ is a school of divine mercy, in which the students, imitating the beloved disciple, listen to the beating of God’s love and thus become true theologians.”
“A priest, whatever the mission entrusted to him, always finds in it an opportunity to conform himself to the Good Shepherd: not only does he need a heart of flesh, a humane and wise heart, but he also feels the need for a heart like that of Jesus, always united to the Father, impassioned by the Church and full of compassion,” Pope Leo continued.
The Pope exhorted the seminarians to “hold fast to the Lord Jesus in listening to His Word, in the celebration of the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, in Adoration, in spiritual discernment, and in fraternal kindness among yourselves.”
