Message of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for the 60th World Day of Social Communications – Sunday 17th May 2026

‘Preserving Human Voices and Faces’ 

‘Faces and voices are sacred. God, who created us in his image and likeness, gave them to us when he called us to life through the Word he addressed to us. This Word resounded down the centuries through the voices of the prophets, and then became flesh in the fullness of time. We too have heard and seen this Word (cf. 1 Jn 1:1-3) — in which God communicates his very self to us — because it has been made known to us in the voice and face of Jesus, the Son of God.’
