Pope Leo in Latin America

At Mass in Buenos Aires during the past week, attended by 2.5m worshippers, Pope Leo spoke of the value of the Christian family:

“Speak naturally to your children about Jesus and remain united to him. In the intimacy of the home, faith is passed on along with life itself, through the simplest gestures: a blessing before meals, a prayer before going to bed, forgiveness and mutual listening, grandparents teaching their grandchildren to pray, going to Mass on Sundays, and preparing for a retreat or a pilgrimage. Indeed, the family is a privileged place for coming to know and encounter Christ.”
