According to the pope, serving the poor and marginalized is the definitive path to recognizing “the very heart of Christ” (Dilexi te, 3). He continues, “If the faithful do not encounter Christ in the poor who stand at the door, they will not be able to worship him even at the altar” (41). When this prophetic teaching is missing from our formation, we risk leaving seekers unprepared for initiation and a life of true Catholic discipleship. Watch this webinar to uncover:

• Why Pope Leo’s apostolic exhortation, Dilexi te, is important for the formation of seekers
• What Dilexi te is and how it serves as a source for catechesis and formation
• How we can help seekers encounter Christ and break open that encounter to reveal the teaching of the church
• What might happen in our parishes if we took the message of Dilexi te to heart
