Mission cannot be improvised. Indeed, we proclaim what we have encountered, the salvation we have experienced, the forgiveness of sins granted to us, and the discovery of the true meaning of life, because "every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she has encountered the love of God in Christ Jesus." #ApostolicJourney #Peru vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

The more we learn to love Jesus, the more capable we become of loving as He does. Our friendship with Christ also gives rise to a more authentic friendship with others, one that sincerely seeks their good, knows how to forgive and remains faithful especially in times of difficulty. How beautiful it is to find friends who help us grow and draw us closer to God. #ApostolicJourney #Peru vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Let us make our homes schools of fraternity; our businesses communities of dignified work and social responsibility; our cultural differences opportunities for encounter; and our institutions places where women and men can participate and contribute to the common good. In this way, we can move toward a just society in which the dignity of every person is the foundation of true peace. #ApostolicJourney #Peru vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

#Peace always begins “here and now” and depends on how we behave, how we look at one another, how we respect one another, and how we listen to one another. If we wish to spread peace, we must first safeguard and nurture it before God, within ourselves and among those dear to us, and then spread it in our communities and in the various spheres of social and political life. #ApostolicJourney #Peru

The Church is like a path leading us to a communion and hope that crosses the mountains of indifference, the deserts of individualism, and the distances that separate people. The motto of my visit — “Let us open our hearts!” — invites us to conversion, to communion and to mission. #ApostolicJourney #Peru

Christ loves us as we are, but His love is too great to leave us prisoners of sin, of what destroys us. The fire He came to bring has the power to break our chains and restore our freedom to love. There are wounds to be healed, failings to be acknowledged, and, whenever possible, wrongs to be made right. Allow Christ to transform you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Human beings do not flourish in spite of their limitations, but often through them. It is precisely when our limitations become tangible in our lives that we can discover a new wisdom, experience the closeness of others, and encounter the presence of the Lord. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina #MagnificaHumanitas

I am very pleased to be back in #Peru. This return visit holds a very special meaning for me. For years, I shared in the lives of its people, listened to their concerns, and learned from their faith. Many opened the doors of their homes to me and made me feel like one of their own. Today I understand how much of this land remains with me and how much of my own story also belongs to you. That is why I can tell you, with deep gratitude, that I am also returning to my homeland. #ApostolicJourney

The Saints and Blesseds have already fulfilled their mission on earth. Today it is our turn to follow the shining path of holiness they have left us. Open your hearts and, with God’s grace, go and be saints: at school and in the town square, in your families and with your friends, in the countryside and in the city, on the farm and in the office. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

The challenges posed by #ArtificialIntelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development. Technology must always be subject to ethics; an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or a worker's value. Access to work for all must be a high priority for public policies and economic processes, serving as a criterion for evaluating the human quality of any development model. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

My arrival in #Argentina is personally meaningful. For years, the universal Church listened to the voice of Pope Francis, who treasured, in his memories and in his heart, the places, the people, and the faith that he received here. #ApostolicJourney

Although Uruguay is a relatively small country, its people have generous hearts and are capable of great things. That has become evident over these past few days. I carry you in my heart and I ask that you continue to accompany me with your prayers. Thank you very much, #Uruguay! #ApostolicJourney

Mothers and grandmothers: never tire of passing on the faith! Preach with your lives as well as with your words. Insist on prayer, love, and hope. Do so with patience, without discouragement. Even if your loved ones seem far from God, continue to place them before him. There are doors that you cannot open, but God can. #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

Our likeness to Christ also matures in the midst of difficulties, such as when work seems fruitless, when our strength wanes or when we must start anew. Eventually endurance leaves its mark. Over the years, a gaze can become more merciful, hands more willing to serve and words more capable of comforting. May trials always find us united to Jesus, so that they may help us to grow in His love. #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay
