During his final General Audience of the year 2025, Pope Leo XIV reflected on months of joy and sorrow — from the Holy Year pilgrimages to the passing of Pope Francis and the ongoing tragedies of war. As the year draws to a close, he invited the faithful to place everything before God, asking Him to renew “the wonders of His grace and mercy,” in the spirit of the Te Deum prayed on December 31. #tedeum #popeleoxiv #vatican | Catholic News Agency
