My reason to be encouraged about Pope Leo XIV

So, we have a new Pope! And I have reason to be encouraged by the selection of Pope Leo XIV for what may seem like a trivial reason – the name he chose. I can’t imagine Cardinal Robert Prevost would have taken the name of Leo if not for being positively influenced by the Pope who took that name last – Pope Leo XIII. So, what do we know of Pope Leo XIII? This video talks about that.

May God bless and keep Pope Leo XIV close to His merciful heart. May Pope Leo XIV follow in the footsteps of Pope XIII. And may Mary and all the saints pray for the spiritual direction and protection of our new Pope. St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us and pray for Pope Leo XIV!!! May God bless you all and may God bless the Catholic Church!!
