This engaging six-session booklet offers an accessible summary of Dilexi Te, Pope Leo’s Apostolic Exhortation on love for the poor. Designed for parish groups, small communities, or personal reflection, it invites participants to explore what it means to live an authentic Christian love that embraces the poor, the sick, and the forgotten.

Each session (about one hour long) combines a summary of each article in the exhortation with theological reflection questions and practical applications for life in today’s world. Themes include: the heart of Christ revealed in the poor, the Church’s history of compassionate service, the call to social conversion, and love as the prophetic witness the world most needs.

No advance reading or preparation is required; everything is included within the session pages—opening prayer, summary, discussion prompts, and a closing reflection. The format encourages open sharing and action rooted in faith, making this booklet a ready-to-use guide for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Gospel justice and mercy in everyday life. Perfect for small groups, the OCIA, youth ministry, and adult faith formation.
