We live “in a world that’s in a hurry and that looks with suspicion on every long pause,” Pope Leo XIV told Italian seminarians in an audience on Thursday, September 3.
When it comes to understanding a vocation, “everything is already present in these few words,” the Pope explained.
Priests are “sent to all people to proclaim to all the beauty of faith in Jesus Christ, the good news of our salvation,” Leo XIV said.
In this context, some people could think that the years of seminary formation are “a luxury,” or an “outdated institution,” he said.
Lord Jesus called the Twelve, not to stay on the mountaintop, but to send them out and proclaim the message.
She was the first “to do what today is asked of you,” he told them.
