This happened at the Jubilee of Youth. John and Sarah on Morning Air were all lit up talking about it... like, giddy excited. 🗣️ Then Came the Moment: One teen from the U.S., Will, asked this: "How can we truly encounter the risen Lord in our lives and be sure of his presence even in the midst of trials and uncertainties?" 🔥 Highlights from Pope Leo's Response: Jesus is your friend, not some far-off idea, but someone walking beside you... always. Want to meet Him? 📖 Listen to the Gospel ✨ Reflect on how you’re living 🤲 Serve the poor ⛪ Adore Jesus in the Eucharist 🛠️ Study, work, and love like Jesus did And then this line that hits you right in the soul: "Without you, Lord, we cannot do the good we desire." 💬 It gets even better: Pope Leo reminded everyone that we find Jesus in the Church, in community, and in each other, especially when we sincerely seek Him. ✝️ He quoted Saint Augustine: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” And then, he gave the ultimate mission call: “Say to the Lord: ‘Thank you, Jesus, for calling me.’ And may others encounter Jesus through you; yes, even in your flaws.” So, wherever you are, just whisper it: “Thank you, Jesus, for calling me.” And keep walking. He’s already walking with you.  The best way to listen to the Best of the Week is on our #1 Free Catholic App. It’s free and always will be! To get and share the Relevant Radio app, check it out here.
