I Have Loved You
Resources for Pope Leo’s Apostolic Exhortation, Dilexi Te: On Love for the Poor
Dive into Pope Leo’s Apostolic Exhortation, Dilexi Te, drafted by Pope Francis in continuity with his 2024 encyclical Dilexit Nos. The title, meaning “I have loved you” (Rev 3:9), expresses Christ’s enduring love revealed most clearly in his closeness to the poor. Dilexi Te calls all Christians to recognize that loving and serving the poor is not optional—it is the very essence of living the Gospel.
