Today, September 26, 2025, Margaret Karram and Jesús Morán were received by Pope Leo XIV.
"We went to see the Holy Father to present the Movement's life to him and to welcome his words.", Margaret Karram and Jesús Morán, president and co-president of the Focolare, told us this morning, at the end of the private audience with Pope Leo XIV.
«It was an authentic, personal, fraternal encounter. I was interested in learning about the work for peace, for ecumenical, interreligious, and intercultural dialogue, and, in particular, for communion among ecclesial movements. He encouraged us to carry the Charism forward to the world..
«In the end I asked him, says Margaret Karram, if we could bring his blessing to all those who are part of the Movement: Of course!, he replied..
For the "live" account of the hearing by Margaret and Jesus, the appointment is tomorrow at 6:00 p.m., Italian time, at the Connection (the global video conference).
