Pope Leo XIV's first afternoon in Chiclayo continued with a special gesture: presenting the Golden Rose to Our Lady of Peace.
In a city where he spent eight years as bishop, Pope Leo gathered at the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace with those who keep the Church\u2019s pastoral mission alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There, the pope addressed a key issue in societies facing significant pastoral needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before any service, position, profession or ministry, we are baptized. Our first identity is as sons and daughters of God.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n His message was clear: laypeople are not there to take the place of priests or bishops. They are there to share their talents and experience in the life of their parishes. The pope said Church authorities must make that participation possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Authority within the Church must be exercised as service, discernment and appreciation of charisms and initiatives. Lay participation is not a concession, but an expression of baptismal dignity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n He also called for concrete action: every community should have its own pastoral council. These advisory bodies provide a way for parishioners to make their voices heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pope also returned to a major concern across Latin America: families, young people, migrants, Indigenous communities and those living in poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Listening to social and cultural realities, defending human dignity, accompanying families, young people, migrants, Indigenous peoples and people living in poverty, and committing to justice, peace and the common good are not optional tasks. They are demands of our mission as a Church.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal is to put Pope Francis\u2019 vision of synodality into practice, strengthening the role of the faithful and reaching those who feel farthest from the Church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Daniel del Castillo Gonz\u00e1lez Pope Leo XIV's first afternoon in Chiclayo continued with a special gesture: presenting the Golden Rose to Our Lady of Peace.In a city where he spent eight years as bishop, Pope Leo gathered at the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace with those who keep the Church\u2019s pastoral mission alive.
