From Aleteia:
In the Vatican’s magazine Piazza San Pietro, a new tradition continues to flourish: Letters from the faithful receive personal responses from the Pope himself. This form of dialogue, first developed under Pope Francis, has become a hallmark of pastoral closeness — a way of listening to people’s struggles and hopes, while offering guidance drawn from the Gospel.
Now, Pope Leo XIV carries this same spirit forward, addressing the challenges of war, family life, and the search for faith with the same tenderness and clarity.
