Audience with the "Marsodeto" Federation of Toledo
📍 Apostolic Palace, Clementine Hall
The Pope receives in audience about a hundred people from the "Marsodeto" Federation of Toledo (Spain), an organization that assists more than 2,700 people with intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy and their families. In his address, Leo XIV recalls the work of the founder, Fr. Marcelino Casas Fuentes, and states that "knowing how to recognize in the lives of the weakest and most vulnerable the gaze of Christ that calls to us" is what makes a human and Christian society grow, urging that families with a member with an intellectual disability never be left alone.
