20250828-143338 "Hope is precisely the theme of this Holy Year. You may sense how much we need to hope. You surely hear that the world is in distress, facing increasingly serious and troubling challenges. You may even be affected—yourselves or those close to you—by suffering, illness or disability, failure, the loss of a loved one; and in the face of trial, your heart feels sadness and anguish. Who will come to our aid? Who will have pity on us? Who will save us?… Not only from our sorrows, our limitations, and our sins, but even from death itself? The answer is perfectly clear and has resounded through History for 2000 years: Jesus alone comes to save us, and no one else. Because He alone has the power – He is God Almighty Himself – and because He loves us. Saint Peter proclaimed it forcefully: _“There is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved”_ (Acts 4:12). Never forget these words, dear friends; engrave them in your hearts, and place Jesus at the center of your lives." **NATIONAL PILGRIMAGE OF ALTAR SERVERS** [**ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE LEO XIV**](https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/fr/speeches/2025/august/documents/20250825-ministranti-francesi.html) Clementine Hall Monday, 25 August 2025 ![[img-20250825-popeleo.jpeg]] ← [[20250825-on-this-day|Previous]] | [[20250904-quote-justice|Next]] →
