“Technical and scientific progress must be inspired and guided by charity.”: Pope Leo’s Words Today

10-29 Papal Audience
10-29 Papal Audience

“Technical and scientific progress must be inspired and guided by charity.”

In this week’s Wednesday audience, Pope Leo XIV continues his journey through Gaudium et Spes, considering the meaning and value of human activity in the world.

Revolutionary advances in science and technology in the past century have led some to believe that faith in God is obsolete.

But science and technology do not weaken our relationship with God.

Progress is not antagonistic to the Christian faith.

Belief in God is not superfluous.

Created in the image and likeness of God, the human being is the agent of progress, and our triumphs are a sign of God’s grace and the fulfillment of his mysterious design.

But to become authentic human progress, technology and science must always be ordered toward the encounter with God, guided by charity, and placed in the service of human dignity.

In this way, “every person and every people may develop their potential, and together, with God’s help, we may build a better future.”

Atlanta

Alex Kucera has lived in Atlanta, GA, for the last 46 years. He is one of 9 children, married to his wife Karmen, and has 3 girls, one grandson, and a granddaughter on the way. Alex joined Regnum Christi in 2007. Out of the gate, he joined the Helping Hands Medical Missions apostolate and is still participating today with the Ghana Friendship Mission.

In 2009, Alex was asked to be the Atlanta RC Renewal Coordinator for the Atlanta Locality to help the RC members with the RC renewal process. Alex became a Group Leader in 2012 for four of the Atlanta Men’s Section Teams and continues today. Running in parallel, in 2013, Alex became a Team Leader and shepherded a large team of good men.

Alex was honored to be the Atlanta Mission Coordinator between 2010 to 2022 (12 years), coordinating 5-8 Holy Week Mission teams across Georgia. He also created and coordinated missions at a parish in Athens, GA, for 9 years. Alex continues to coordinate Holy Week Missions, Advent Missions, and Monthly missions at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Cumming, GA.

From 2016 to 2022, Alex also served as the Men’s Section Assistant in Atlanta. He loved working with the Men’s Section Director, the Legionaries, Consecrated, and Women’s Section leadership teams.

Alex is exceptionally grateful to the Legionaries, Consecrated, and many RC members who he’s journeyed shoulder to shoulder, growing his relationship with Christ and others along the way. He knows that there is only one way, that’s Christ’s Way, with others!
