Habemus Papam!
Deo Gratias! With hearts full of joy and thanksgiving, we celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV, the successor of St. Peter. Chosen by the Holy Spirit and entrusted with shepherding the universal Church, he now takes up the Cross with humility, courage, and faith.
Consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, from whom flows the “abundant wealth of His divine Heart… poured forth upon the children of men” (Dilexit Nos, 2), may the Lord bless Pope Leo XIV with wisdom, strength, and holiness. May Our Blessed Mother wrap him in her mantle of love and protection. And may we, the faithful, unite in prayer and support as he begins this sacred mission.
Fr. Joe Laramie, SJ, National Director of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network-USA, expressed: “I am so excited to welcome Pope Leo XIV, and honored to serve in his prayer network!”
Viva il Papa!
