Addressing the faithful gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his Sunday Angelus, Pope Leo reflected on the Gospel passage from Luke, inviting the faithful to ask themselves how they are investing the “treasure” of their lives.
Quoting Jesus’ words, “Sell what you own and give alms”, the Pope urged Christians not to cling to the gifts they have received from God, but to use them generously for the good of others – especially those most in need.
“It is not only about sharing material possessions,” he said, “but about putting into play our abilities, our time, our affection, our presence, our empathy.” Each person, he continued, is “a unique, priceless good in God’s plan – a living, beating capital” that must be cultivated and invested, “otherwise it dries up and loses its value.”
