Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure,&#8221; Pope Leo said. &#8220;These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised or at best tolerated and pitied. Yet, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed. A lack of faith is often tragically accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family and so many other wounds that afflict our society.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/09\/14798372-70a1-4784-afac-7468fbe2aa2b\/thumbnail\/620x413\/6a6d94b6ee87c0917373e3c089e7f462\/pope-leo-2214217343.jpg?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465#\" alt=\"First Day Of Pope Leo XIV \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/09\/14798372-70a1-4784-afac-7468fbe2aa2b\/thumbnail\/620x413\/6a6d94b6ee87c0917373e3c089e7f462\/pope-leo-2214217343.jpg?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/09\/14798372-70a1-4784-afac-7468fbe2aa2b\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/9900d6b0eaf20c879e411070b9c72845\/pope-leo-2214217343.jpg?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost presides over his first Holy Mass  as Pope Leo XIV, with cardinals, in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, May 9, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Simone Risoluti\/Getty<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Leo also preached that, &#8220;today, too, there are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman.
