Pope Leo XIV, visiting Peru’s 400-year-old San Carlos y San Marcelo seminary, urged seminarians to balance prayer and doctrine, warning that piety without teaching risks sentimentality and study without prayer becomes sterile.
Drawing on his past role as a teacher there, he emphasized that authentic priesthood is a total gift of self, rooted in the Eucharist and centered on Christ, requiring spiritual fatherhood through celibacy, obedience, and mercy.
He stressed that true priestly identity forms through daily prayer, Scripture, and study, guided by the Church’s teaching authority, and affirmed that seminarians are never alone in their vocation.
