I was blessed and most fortunate to be able to watch live the question and answer session Pope Leo had with American Youth and I provide the video of that below.
As my title says, Pope Leo never referred to synodality, thanks be to God!
He was great in his answers. While seemingly off-the-cuff, he knew what the questions were ahead of time and had prepared answers. He may or may not have read his answers from a teleprompter. But his answers were natural.
As with all things Pope Leo, all his answers were Christi-centric, that is, he put Christ first. He spoke of prayer, in particular, the Holy Rosary. He spoke about Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. He spoke of intimacy with Christ through prayer and the sacraments, to include the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
He spoke of a personal relationship with Christ, by God’s grace, putting Christ at the center of one’s life, and being led by Christ to lead a holy life as Christ teaches us!
He spoke of Catholic identity.
He spoke about listening to the call to the priesthood and religious life.
He spoke of a lot and it was all good! No scratching of one’s head or what did he mean or was it this that he meant or that, that he meant?
He did not talk about going out and making a mess, but to allow Christ and His grace to help you clean up the mess of sin, evil, and a world detached from God!
Thanks be to God—we are emerging from the fog!
Listen and watch for yourself!
