El título del documento nos recuerda la cuarta y última encíclica del Papa Francisco, Dilexit Nos, sobre el amor humano y divino del corazón de Jesucristo, publicada en octubre de 2024. Dilexi Te, iniciada por el Papa Francisco antes de su muerte y completada por el Papa León XIV, dirige nuestra atención a la manera en que podemos convertirnos en una Iglesia para los pobres.

En Dilexi Te, el Papa León XIV reflexiona sobre San Francisco y su vida radical de pobreza. Al igual que San Francisco, debemos tratar de imitar a Cristo desprendiéndonos de la gloria y las posesiones terrenales para servir mejor a Dios y a nuestro prójimo, especialmente a los pobres y más vulnerables entre nosotros.

In his first apostolic exhortation, Dilexi Te ("I have loved you"), Pope Leo XIV focuses on poverty and love for the poor. The Holy Father signed this first magisterial document of his pontificate on October 4, 2025, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The document's title is reminiscent of the fourth and final encyclical of Pope Francis, Dilexit Nos, on the human and divine love of the heart of Jesus Christ, released in October 2024. Dilexi Te, begun by Pope Francis before his death and completed by Pope Leo XIV, turns our attention to how we can become a church for the poor.

In Dilexi Te, Pope Leo XIV reflects on Saint Francis and his radical life of poverty. Like Saint Francis, we must seek to imitate Christ by detaching ourselves from earthly glory and possessions to better serve God and our neighbor, especially the poor and most vulnerable among us.
