Pope Leo says the Resurrection of Jesus provides a way against sadness

Pope Leo XIV called sadness “one of the malaises of our time” during his General Audience on Oct. 22.

Speaking in a rainy St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, the pontiff said the resurrection of Jesus Christ is an event that “one never finishes contemplating and meditating on, and the more one explores it, the more one is filled with wonder, drawn in as if by an overwhelming yet fascinating light.”
