Liturgy Angelus, 25 October 2026
First source report
Pope Leo XIV addressed the faithful during the Angelus on October 25, 2026, reflecting on the commandment to love God and neighbor. Speaking from his study window in the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Pope noted that love for God is a personal response to God's preceding love rather than a commanded obligation. He stated that this love must involve the whole person – heart, soul, and mind – and must overflow into love for others to overcome selfishness.
The Pope also raised concerns regarding the humanitarian situation in Yemen, specifically mentioning the lack of food, water, and medical supplies in Taiz. He called for an end to hostilities to ensure peace for the people of Yemen and the surrounding region.
Additionally, Pope Leo XIV expressed prayers for those injured or killed in a recent terrorist attack against the St. George Orthodox Church in Jordan. He concluded by noting the upcoming 40th anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Peace, which will be commemorated by religious leaders in Assisi on October 27.
