Summary
Brians 1 prison in Spain heard Pope Leo XIV tell inmates that no situation can make God turn His gaze away and that divine mercy outweighs what people have done.
The pope framed Christian life as conversion rather than perfection, saying mistakes do not define identity and that repentance, reconciliation and forgiveness make a new start possible.
Addressing prisoners' isolation from loved ones, Leo urged those facing anxiety and sadness not to give up, but to look to God’s constant love and closeness.
He closed the prison visit by inviting inmates to “keep dreaming God’s dream,” entrusting them to Our Lady of Mercy and giving his apostolic blessing.
