With a bit of humor, #PopeLeoXIV begins his homily to the Augustinian general chapter by summarizing his Italian text in English: Pray for the gift to listen, to be humble & to promote unity.

#PopeLeoXIV tête-à-tête

Jubilee pilgrims can still process to the Holy Door, but other than that, Via della Conciliazione is closed pending the arrival of Israeli President Herzog, who is meeting #PopeLeoXIV

Before #PopeLeoXIV inaugurates the Borgo Laudato Si' at Castel Gandolfo, Vatican Media is showing amazingly beautiful drone shots of the papal estate overlooking Lake Albano. youtube.com/live/J6MqpK91b…

Pope Leo XIV feeds some fish, prays & greets workers & their families at the papal gardens in Castel Gandolfo, where he will inaugurate & bless the new Borgo Laudato Si' project promoting integral ecology.

Lots of presents from farm workers & special guests at the papal gardens: an Andalusian horse like Pope Leo used in Peru, a sun hat like St. John XXIII used to wear, wine and meeting a newborn calf from the papal farm.

Inspired by Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Si', the new Borgo is a center offering educational projects, vocational training, even retreats for businesses looking to apply church teaching. It also runs a farm & gardens employing vulnerable people.

Andrea Bocelli & his son Matteo sing "Dolce Sentire" as part of the official inauguration of Borgo Laudato Si'. In his homily, Pope Leo said: Caring for creation is a true vocation for every human being. "We are creatures among creatures and not creators."

#PopeLeoXIV is leading a general audience this morning for Jubilee pilgrims.

"We are all called to be saints!" Pope Leo XIV says before the start of the Mass & canonizations of Blessed Frassati and Acutis. He greeted the crowd before the solemn ceremony to share in their joy for what he called a great event for the church & world.

During today's canonization Mass, Pope Leo XIV asked that "we all feel in our hearts the same thing that Pier Giorgio and Carlo experienced: this love for Jesus Christ, especially in the Eucharist, but also in the poor, in our brothers and sisters."

After Cardinal Semeraro read the biographies of Frassati & Acutis, and all chanted the litany of the saints, Pope Leo recites the formula of canonization:

The church welcomes two new saints! Two young laymen: Sts. Pier Giorgio Frassati & Carlo Acutis -- the first millennial saint. Thousands attend Pope Leo XIV's first canonization Mass in St Peter's Square.

St. Carlo Acutis' brother, Michele, does the first reading from the Book of Wisdom (9:13-18) at Mass in English. His mom, Antonia, is also at the Mass with the rest of the family.

"The greatest risk in life is to waste it outside of God’s plan," Pope Leo XIV says. Jesus calls us to abandon ourselves w/o hesitation to the adventure he offers us, w/ the intelligence & strength that comes from his Spirit; empty oneself in order to listen to his word.

Pope Leo XIV: The life of St. Pier Giorgio "is a beacon for lay spirituality. For him, faith was not a private devotion, but was driven by the power of the Gospel & belonging to many church associations. He contributed to political life & devoted himself to serving the poor.

Pope Leo XIV: St. Carlo Acutis encountered Jesus in his family, thanks to his parents, school & the sacraments celebrated in the parish community. He grew up naturally integrating prayer, sport, study & charity into his days as a child and young man.

Pope Leo XIV: Sts. Pier Giorgio & Carlo are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards & make them masterpieces. They encourage us to put God at the center of all we do; it is the witness we're called to follow.

"God does not want war; he wants peace!" Pope Leo said Sept. 7. "Listen to the voice of conscience," he told leaders. Apparent victories obtained w/ weapons are just defeats that never bring peace & security. God supports those who work to end violence, start dialogue.

Reading one of the prayers of the faithful at Mass today was Valeria Valverde, a young Costa Rican woman who suffered a severe head injury while living in Italy. It was her unexplained healing that provided the second miracle needed for St. Carlo Acutis' canonization.
