Magnifica Humanitas, (Magnificient Humanity)

Pope Leo XIV’s First Encyclical Published

The Papal Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, issued by Pope Leo XIV in May 2026, seeks to safeguard the human person and preserve human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. It aims to promote truth, social justice, peace, and the dignity of work while warning against an AI-driven “culture of power” that threatens human-centered community. The encyclical particularly strives to ban or severely restrict the use of AI in warfare, declaring that removing human control from weaponry makes war unjustifiable under the “just war” theory. Finally, it calls humanity to choose between building prideful “Babel” through remote, AI-dominated power and rebuilding “Jerusalem” through respectful, communal, and ethically guided technology use.

Transitus of St. Francis

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
