Pope: The Church is a ‘construction site’ for a community to be built without haste
Celebrating Mass on the occasion of the Dedication of the Basilica of St John Lateran, Pope Leo XIV reflects on the Church, urging the faithful to be ‘free from the criteria of the world, which too often demands immediate results because it does not know the wisdom of waiting’. ‘Jesus changes us and calls us to work in God's great construction site, wisely shaping us according to His plans for salvation.’ ‘In Rome,’ says the Pope, ‘there is a great good that grows’ beyond the hardships.
