In the time of Artificial Intelligence, humanity is faced with a choice. Whether to let itself be guided by technology and progress as the only principles on which to build our civilization, or should it put at the centre the dignity of the person, reducing technical progress to an instrument. To explain this, Pope Leo uses in this Encyclical Letter, two biblical images, one the construction of the Tower of Babel and the other the reconstruction of Jerusalem. While Pope Leo recognizes the value of technological development as an expression of human creativity, he warns of the risk of it becoming the absolute criterion of judgment. Artificial intelligence, lacking experiences, values, and feelings, cannot and should not assume a a role of responsibility and supremacy over human intelligence.

Act of Spiritual Communion
If you are unable to attend daily mass we can use this prayer to express our faith in Christ and His Presence in the Eucharist, and ask Him to unite Himself with us
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen
