Milan, 28 June (LaPresse) – “To bear fruit, love requires at least three things: detachment, loss and acceptance. Love for the Lord always involves accepting our brothers and sisters.” Pope Leo XIV said this during the Angelus in St Peter’s Square. “Love is expressed through concrete choices and actions, through a commitment made up of small daily gestures, such as offering a glass of water to those who are thirsty,” he said. “Jesus, when sending his disciples ahead of him, asks them to go without provisions – that is, to be in need – because in this way they will be able to inspire hospitality in those they meet.” “It is thus that, by welcoming those who come in the name of Jesus, we welcome Him and the heavenly Father who sent Him,” he emphasised.
