On Love for the Poor

Dilexi Te is Pope Leo XIV’s first apostolic exhortation, titled, “I have loved you,” and it emphasizes the essential role of loving and caring for the poor.
The document calls for both individual and structural change to confront poverty, recognizing the poor as evangelists and a key part of the Church’s identity, and builds upon the legacy of Pope Francis.
It is a pastoral call to action that integrates love for the poor into the core of Catholic life and worship, viewing it as a central, constitutive.
