God also exhorts his priests to “entrust ourselves, along a daily path of conversion, to the transforming power of his Spirit who dwells in our hearts,” Pope Leo said.

When a priest has experienced the joy of truly believing in Jesus Christ and embracing him as a friend, it shows, Pope Leo XIV told priests.

Father Mike Schmitz is on a nationwide speaking tour, opening up Jesus Christ’s parables from the Gospel to sold-out crowds from coast to coast.
