The Capuchin Franciscan friar’s sermon—preached in Paul VI Audience Hall on March 13, in the presence of Pope Leo and the Roman Curia—had five sections:
- The gift of brothers
- We become brothers
- Loving more
- From death to life
- Eternal life
The papal preacher customarily preaches sermons to the Pope and the Curia on the Fridays of Advent and Lent; he also customarily delivers the homily in St. Peter’s Basilica on Good Friday. The overarching theme of this year’s Lenten sermons is “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation (2 Cor 5:17): Conversion to the Gospel, according to Saint Francis.”
The first Lenten sermon, preached on March 6, was entitled “Conversion: Following the Lord Jesus on the Path of Humility.”
