Pope Leo XIV just dropped his first Apostolic Exhortation, Dilexi Te, and it’s a powerful reflection on the Church’s love for the poor. In this special edition of Church Headlines, Br. Darius Lawrence breaks down the key points from all five chapters of the document—from Jesus as the “Poor Messiah” to the Church’s ongoing challenge to serve those most in need.

Summary bullets:

- How Dilexi Te builds on Pope Francis’ legacy

- The biblical roots of the Church’s care for the poor

- Surprising historical examples of saints who risked everything to help others
