Isabelle de La Garanderie, a consecrated virgin in the Diocese of Nanterre and a member of the provincial ecclesial assembly on catechumens and neophytes, reflected on the deeply personal and embodied nature of the interactions between Pope Léon XIV and the faithful who came to see and listen to him. The Pope’s visit drew impressive numbers, likely including a mix of curious individuals and Catholics, all participating in celebrations marked by a spirit of fraternity and peace. The joy of the Gospel that the Pope proclaims continues to attract new people to the Church, and those still at the threshold are welcomed to continue the encounter. What stood out to de La Garanderie was the personal and embodied nature of these interactions, particularly the Pope's gaze, expressions, joy, emotion, and even fatigue, which were evident during his meetings. The Pope was seen as an individual striving to create genuine relationships with the largest number of people in their most concrete humanity. This was exemplified in his blessings of babies and the global attention given to a photograph of him looking tenderly at a young girl with multiple disabilities. This personal approach was also evident during his meeting with the provincial ecclesial assembly of Île-de-France on catechumens and neophytes at the Catholic Institute of Paris, where he addressed each person by name and responded to their testimonies. The Pope's speeches were challenging to extract from their context or to fit into specific Church trends, as they often required a balanced approach to move forward on a difficult path. His words reflected the perspective of an educator who demands the best, strengthening his brothers in faith without limiting it to a particular trend. This was also evident in his homily at the Stade de France, where he emphasized three verbs outlining a Christian path of life: "Avoid, Strive, Combat." These words, sounding like a grammar, acknowledged the spiritual struggle while affirming that "for me, to live is Christ" (Philippians 1:21), emphasizing the avoidance of sin, striving for good, and accepting the struggle against apparent ease. The Pope's call for peace, which has been a consistent theme since the beginning of his papacy, was reinforced at Metz, where he emphasized that promoting peace is an active endeavor rather than passive waiting. He questioned whether efforts are truly creative in promoting global peace or merely aimed at containing the bleeding of war and preparing for expected future conflicts. He called on all, especially younger generations, to become builders of peace. The Pope's encounters with the faithful opened a path of life rooted in the most concrete aspects of humanity and spiritual life, encouraging a deeper grounding in personal prayer and liturgy.
