Pope Leo: "Love God and Neighbour to Inherit Eternal Life"
During his Sunday Angelus address at Castel Gandolfo on July 13, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the Gospel question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” The Holy Father emphasized that eternal life comes as an inheritance from God rather than something earned or negotiated.
“This hope of the human heart is described as something to be ‘inherited’, not something to be gained by force, begged for, or negotiated,” the Pope explained to pilgrims gathered in Piazza della Libertà. “Eternal life, which God alone can give, is bestowed on us as an inheritance, as parents do with their children.”
