Pope Leo XIV on the Martyrs of Algeria

“In them, the Church’s vocation to dwell in the desert in deep communion with all humanity, overcoming the walls of indifference that set religions and cultures against one another, in full imitation of the movement of the incarnation and giving of the Son of God. This way of presence and simplicity, of knowledge and of “dialogue of life”, is the true path of mission. Not self-exhibition, in the contraposition of identities, but self-giving to the point of martyrdom of those who, day and night, in joy and amid tribulations, worship Jesus alone as Lord.”

(Message of his holiness pope leo XIV, to mark the XLVI edition of the meeting for friendship among peoples, Rimini, 22-27 august 2025)
