At a time when our world is marked by both triumphs and trials, Pope Leo XIV reminds the faithful that God’s message of hope is always present, if we are willing to rise above the noise of daily life and listen.
In a letter addressed to the rector of the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum and to the participants of the 12th Latin American Congress on Science and Religion, Pope Leo called on all people to search for ways to transcend the merely measurable. “Rise above all things that can be measured, in order to behold the measure beyond measure,” the Pope said, quoting St. Augustine, according to Vatican News.
This invitation comes as the Congress reflects on the theme, “The Languages of Creation: The Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Hermeneutics of the ‘Book of Nature’ as a Path of Hope.” Pope Leo’s words speak to the heart of the Catholic understanding of creation — that nature itself is a revelation of God’s glory. “That way, even without words, God’s work will proclaim the glory of its Creator,” he emphasized.
The Holy Father urged believers not only to recognize God’s voice in times of joy, but also in moments of pain. “All mankind will be able to hear His message of hope not only in the brilliance of life’s clear days, but also in the dark nights of anguish and tribulation,” Pope Leo said, according to Vatican News.
Pope Leo concluded his message by entrusting the efforts of all participants to the Blessed Virgin Mary, praying that “the Lord may sustain your efforts with His grace” and offering his Apostolic Blessing.
For Catholics today, this message serves as a reminder that faith is not reserved for the easy moments. God’s hope is a constant — guiding us through both the light and the darkness.
