Saint Charles Lwanga was one of the 22 Ugandan Martyrs who gave their lives for Christ in the late nineteenth century. He embraced the Catholic faith and was baptised in November 1885, less than a year before his martyrdom. He became a courageous witness to the Gospel and a moral leader among the young pages of the royal court.

As chief of the royal pages, Charles was respected for his strength, leadership, and character. He instructed many of his companions in the Catholic faith and even baptised some of the younger boys himself. During a time of growing persecution under the ruler Mwanga, Charles encouraged his fellow pages to remain faithful to Christ and to live lives of purity and courage.

Mwanga, influenced by fear and superstition, began to see Christianity as a threat to his power. Christians refused to take part in immoral acts, violence, and pagan worship, which caused suspicion within the royal court. Charles and his companions were eventually imprisoned for refusing the king’s demands and for remaining steadfast in their faith.

Condemned to death, Charles faced martyrdom with remarkable peace. On 3 June 1886, at Namugongo, he was burned alive for refusing to renounce his faith. Even in the face of death, he remained calm and prayerful, offering his life for Christ.

When Pope Paul VI canonised Charles Lwanga and his companions in 1964, the Church recognised their extraordinary witness of faith, purity, and courage. Today, Saint Charles Lwanga is honoured as the patron saint of African youth and Catholic Action throughout much of Africa.

In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV reflects on the challenge of remaining truly human in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

He warns against a future where technology attempts to replace what lies at the very heart of humanity: love, compassion, sacrifice and authentic human relationships.

The Holy Father reminds us that a society rooted in love, mercy and human dignity can never simply be engineered or automated.

As AI continues to develop at extraordinary speed, the Church calls us to ensure that technology always serves the human person and the common good.

Explore Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, and reflect on his vision for faith, humanity and the future of technology:

Gospel
Mark 12:13-17
‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’

At that time: They sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. And they came and said to him, ‘Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone’s opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?’ But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, ‘Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.’ And they brought one. And he said to them, ‘Whose likeness and inscription is this?’ They said to him, ‘Caesar’s.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ And they marvelled at him.
