What I believe Pope Leo and so many before him are trying to impress on us, the people of faith, is that every interaction, every relationship we have, can have some element of mission service to it, if we shift our thinking. Yes, there are those whose mission is at the outer rings of the margins. But our loved ones, coworkers, and neighbors can also be where our mission is. Whether via Chicago or via Chiclayo, Pope Leo XIV’s mission of love now extends to the whole world, which so desperately needs healing.
