亚色影库 joins the world in celebrating the election of Cardinal Robert Prevost, now known as His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.
The call to lead is awesome and humbling. Pope Leo鈥檚 leadership journey has led him to many points on the globe, from his Chicago-based education to his faith-driven mission in Peru, culminating in his service to the late Pope Francis in the Vatican. It was at the Vatican where he presided over one of the most revolutionary reforms Pope Francis made, adding three women to the voting bloc that decides which bishop nominations to forward to the Pope.
Our hearts are brimming with hope as we heard Pope Leo XIV pray in his first address, 鈥渕ay we all walk together towards the place that God has prepared for us: a church that builds bridges, is always open to receive everyone, that always shows charity, especially to those who are suffering.鈥
We join the in praying for Pope Leo XIV as he prepares to lead this global church.
