On October 24, 2024, Pope Francis issued his fourth Encyclical, Dilexit Nos (“He loved us”), on “the human and divine love of the heart of Jesus Christ,” which calls for the world to return to the heart of Jesus.
Pope Francis quotes Paragraph 7 of our 1982 Constitutions (see paragraph 150, note 155).
Caught up as we are in the desires of His Heart,
we want people to grow in dignity, as human beings
and as children of God
Our starting point is the Gospel
with all that it demands from us of love, forgiveness
and justice,
and of solidarity with those who are poor
and rejected by the world.
It is a humbling honor that Pope Francis draws attention to these words of our Constitution and a renewed call to us to live these words and this mission of love fully as we respond to the needs of our times.
