Habemus Papam: Welcome Pope Leone XIV!
With great joy and reverence, we celebrate the election of our new Holy Father—Pope Leone XIV. Formerly Cardinal Robert-Francis Prevost, he now takes on the sacred responsibility of leading the Catholic Church as the 267th successor of Saint Peter.
This historic moment fills our hearts with hope and faith. The name Leone, meaning "lion," reminds us of strength, courage, and spiritual leadership—qualities we pray will guide his papacy in these complex and transformative times.
As the white smoke rose over St. Peter’s Basilica and the bells rang out, Catholics around the world united in prayer and celebration. It is a reminder of our shared journey, our unity in Christ, and the enduring strength of the Church through every new chapter.
Let us welcome Pope Leone XIV with open hearts and lift him up in prayer as he begins his mission to shepherd the faithful and be a voice of peace, justice, and love for all humanity.
"Habemus Papam!" – We have a Pope!
May the Lord bless Pope Leone XIV and guide him always.
With devotion,
The Catholically Team
