Pope Leo's 1st Apostolic Exhortation

On 9 October 2025 the Vatican released Pope Leo XIV's first Apostolic Exhortation on love for those who are poor. It is based on a draft text prepared by Pope Francis: in his introduction Pope Leo writes:

"Pope Francis was preparing in the last months of his life an Apostolic Exhortation on the Church’s care for the poor, to which he gave the title Dilexi Te, as if Christ speaks those words to each of them, saying: ‘You have but little power,’ yet ‘I have loved you’ (Rev 3:9). I am happy to make this document my own—adding some reflections—and to issue it at the beginning of my own pontificate”
