From Aleteia:
Pope Leo XIV sent video messages to three different gatherings of young Catholics over the weekend of July 25-26, urging them toward missionary engagement and warning against spiritual complacency and uncritical use of technology.
The most widely quoted line came from his message to young people in Chota and Cutervo, Peru, gathered for their second Diocesan Youth Day. “Jesus doesn’t want you to be ‘young couch potatoes,’ complacent or content with the comfort of ‘that’s just the way it’s always been done,’” the Pope said, quoting a phrase Pope Francis used at World Youth Day in Krakow in 2016 and on many other occasions. The Church, Leo told the Peruvian youth, “needs your holy rebelliousness, your pure energy, and your desire to transform situations of suffering into spaces of hope.”
