Fr. Juan Antonio Cabrera Montero, OSA, in the Newsletter of the Order of St. Augustine General Curia:

Leo XIV’s first encyclical, recently published, represents a further step in the development of the Church’s social doctrine, inaugurated 135 years ago by Leo XIII. The Holy Father’s desire is that Christians become “weavers of hope in our world, sharing what we are and what we have, so that the presence of Jesus may grow among us and his Kingdom may take shape” (n. 245). Its distinctly anthropological and social character does not preclude continuous reference to the Gospel message and the tradition of the Church. In these brief lines, we will not delve into an analysis of the numerous proposals—many of them novel—that the text offers. We will focus solely, due to their significance, on the Augustinian references that appear in the encyclical.
