ENCYCLICAL LETTER ON HUMAN AND DIVINE LOVE OF THE HEART OF JESUS CHRIST

« ‘He loved us’, Saint Paul says of Christ (cf. Rom 8:37), in order to make us realize that nothing can ever “separate us” from that love (Rom 8:39) ». Thus begins Pope Francis’ fourth Encyclical, published on October 24, 2024, which takes its title from the opening words in Latin “Dilexit nos’ that means ‘He loved us’.
This Encyclical is dedicated to the human and divine love of the Heart of Jesus Christ: “His open heart has gone before us and waits for us, unconditionally, asking only to offer us His love and friendship,” said the Holy Father.
