"Life shines brightly not because we are rich, beautiful or powerful. Instead, it shines when we discover within ourselves the truth that we are called by God, have a vocation, have a mission, that our lives serve something greater than ourselves."

This is an English translation of the homily given by Pope Leo XIV during the Mass for All Saints' Day held on 1 November 2025. During this Mass, Saint John Henry Newman was declared a Doctor of the Church. The Jubilee of the World of Education was also celebrated.
