Pope Leo XIV continues his catechesis on the documents of the Second Vatican Council, reflecting on Sacrosanctum Concilium and the signs and symbols found in the sacred liturgy.

“The liturgy invites us to participate — body, mind, and heart” and to enter “a dimension inhabited by the Holy Spirit,” the Holy Father said. He explained that the signs and symbols woven throughout the liturgy have a “performative and transformative dimension,” helping the faithful encounter God through the Church's worship.

As the Solemnity of Corpus Christi approaches, Pope Leo encouraged Christians to rediscover the signs and symbols of the sacred liturgy and reawaken their openness to an encounter with God.

Pope Leo XIV invites Catholics to join World Mission Sunday

Pope Leo XIV has invited the entire Church to take part in World Mission Sunday on 18 October 2026, encouraging Catholics to pray and support missionary work around the world.

Speaking to representatives of the Pontifical Mission Societies at the Vatican on Monday, the Pope said World Mission Sunday has been dedicated for 100 years to prayer, reflection, and support for evangelization.

"On World Mission Sunday, every Catholic community is invited to pray and offer spiritual and material sacrifices for the missionary efforts in areas of first evangelization and the support of young Churches," he said.

The Holy Father noted that donations collected during the annual observance help fund missionary projects, support young Churches, and assist in the formation of priests and religious.

He also highlighted this year’s theme, "One in Christ, united in mission," which calls Catholics to deeper unity and participation in the Church’s mission.

The Pope concluded by thanking the Pontifical Mission Societies for their service and entrusted their "vital missionary work" to the protection of Mary, Queen of Missions, and all missionary saints.
