Welcome to the blog where we explore the latest updates on Pope Francis’ 46th Apostolic Journey abroad! Today, we focus on his visit to Luxembourg, where he is spreading a message of ‘new humanism’ across Europe. Fr. Jean Ehret, a theologian and founder of the Luxembourg School of Religion and Society, is excited to welcome the Pope and sees his mission as aligned with promoting dialogue among different religions and world views.
In Luxembourg, a small majority Catholic nation, discussions are ongoing about the future of Christianity, even in countries with high numbers of adherents. Fr. Ehret believes that Pope Francis aims to guide us on how to be faithful Christians and witnesses in today’s world.
Next, the Pope will travel to Belgium, where he will engage with bishops, priests, and religious leaders before meeting students at the Catholic University of Louvain. On Sunday, he will celebrate Mass at the King Baudouin Stadium, addressing key issues such as migration, the climate crisis, and Christian education in a secular society.
As we look forward to the Pope’s next steps, let’s reflect on the importance of his message of ‘new humanism’ and the need for dialogue and collaboration in a diverse and modern world.
