Gaudete Et Exsultate

(2018 Apostolic Exhortation On The Call To Holiness In Today’s World)

True justice comes about in people’s lives when they themselves are just in their decisions; it is expressed in their pursuit of justice for the poor and the weak.

Pope Francis, 2018

Gaudete et Exsultate (“Rejoice and Be Glad”) is Pope Francis’ third Apostolic Exhortation, focusing on the universal call to holiness in the modern world.

Here he emphasizes that holiness is not just for a select few, but a call for everyone, regardless of their station in life or circumstances.
