This morning, in the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Holy Father Leo XIV received in audience the members of the Ausilia Foundation.

The following is the greeting addressed by the Pope to those present at the meeting:

Greeting of the Holy Father

Your Eminence,
Your Excellency
dear brothers and sisters,

I am pleased to greet you this morning at the start of Holy Week, a providential time for our discipleship of the Lord Jesus, who was crucified, died and rose again for us.

Thank you for your generous commitment to helping young people in their formation and integration into the workplace. Investing not in objects, but in people, in their abilities and skills, constitutes a key strength of your work. Indeed, in this way, it is the young people themselves who become the protagonists of their own future, without being regarded as functional tools for a company or cogs in the wheel of commercial success.

I therefore encourage every member of the Ausilia Foundation to persevere in the initiatives you are fostering: precisely in the current climate of uncertainty, the virtuous circle of knowledge and collaboration that you promote will certainly bear good fruit.

As a sign of esteem, I gladly impart my Apostolic Blessing upon all of you here present, and upon your loved ones. Thank you!
