At the Wednesday general audience, following his return from Africa, Pope Leo XIV used his weekly catechesis to recall how his third apostolic journey unfolded\u2014a memorable, eleven-day tour through northern and central Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUMMARY OF THE WEEKLY PUBLIC CATECHESIS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear brothers and sisters,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today I would like to speak about my recent Apostolic Journey to four countries: Algeria, Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea. I had desired to embark on this journey since the beginning of my pontificate, and I now express my heartfelt gratitude to the Lord for granting me the occasion to meet with the people of God in Africa and confirm them in their faith<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n as the Successor of Saint Peter. My time there was meant to offer the world a message of peace at a moment marked by conflicts and frequent violations of international law. Along with the call for peace, I also denounced the grave injustices that exist in those countries that are so rich in natural resources, urging the international community to overcome neo-colonial attitudes and engage in authentic collaboration. At the same time, the Apostolic Journey gave people in Africa a chance to make their voices heard and to express the joy of being God\u2019s people. In this regard, I thank the Lord for what they have given me: an immeasurable gift of faith, hope and charity, which has greatly enriched my life and ministry.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I greet all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in today\u2019s Audience,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n particularly the groups from Ireland, Malta, Norway, Nigeria, India, the Philippines, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States of America.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon all of you, and upon your families, I invoke the joy and peace of the risen Jesus! God bless you!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" James O'Reilly At the Wednesday general audience, following his return from Africa, Pope Leo XIV used his weekly catechesis to recall how his third apostolic journey unfolded\u2014a memorable, eleven-day tour through northern and central Africa.
