Christ, Unity and Peace. Inspired for Mission by Pope Leo XIV

Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to present an overview of the teaching of Pope Leo XIV on the Church and her mission in the world. The initial point of his reflection is drawn on the fact that the current Pope lived for many years as a missionary in a different country and culture than his own. This kind of life experience should not be different to how Leo XIV perceives the Church and what aspects of her existence he emphasizes primarily in his Petrine ministry. In the author’s intention, this should not be only a theoretical reflection of a better acquaintance with the papal teaching. Rather, such a reflection can be enriching for broader understanding of the reality of the Church and her fundamental characteristic of being missionary (AG, no 2). It could be an inspiration to take new steps in our personal life as Christians. The purpose of this writing will be achieved if the reader is moved to direct his or her life to building peace in whatsoever context as well as in any human community, if he or she strives for greater unity among people and desires to bring the Good News to others through a life deeply rooted in Christ and lived in the community of the baptized.
