Dilexit Nos - Reading & Reflection
Dilexit Nos (He loved us) is the fourth encyclical of Pope Francis, subtitled "On the human and divine love of the Heart of Jesus Christ". Similar to previous encyclicals, Pope Francis criticizes individualism and "uses of technology that threaten our humanity." He calls for rediscovery of "heart" as a way towards unity, peace, and reconciliation in the modern era.
​
With a distinctly Ignatian voice, Pope Francis reflects on aspects of Christ's love that could illuminate the path of ecclesial renewal and resonate meaningfully with "a world that seems to have lost its heart."
