The Pope's Call for Apostleship

Pope Francis emphasized in his weekly General Audience that all Christians, including priests, religious, and laypeople, are called to be missionary disciples. He reflected on the universal call to mission and urged all Christians to receive this calling. The Pope also emphasized the collaboration between the laity and the hierarchy and the importance of ensuring that the diversity of charisms and ministries does not give rise to privileged categories. In addition, he thanked Argentinian leaders for their wishes on the tenth anniversary of his election as Pope and appealed to the warring parties in Ukraine to respect religious sites.
