I, along with the rest of the world, am very excited to welcome Pope Leo XIV as the new successor of St. Peter! I loved that the white smoke captivated the whole world, and everyone wondered who would be the next Pope for the Catholic Church. Our faith in the risen Christ is personal and intimate, and yet it is also universal. Moments such as these allow us to experience and share our faith with others around the world. I had tears in my eyes standing less than a foot from my television and praying the Hail Mary with the new Pope and everyone worldwide! And even though I was not in St. Peter's Square, it was an incredible moment!
This joyful moment of meeting our new Holy Father filled me with hope. I am eager to learn what our new Holy Father will teach us during this Jubilee Year of Hope and the personal insights he will share from his journey with Christ. Since Pope Leo XIV began his papacy by leading us in praying the Hail Mary, I believe he will lead us to Christ through Mary, which is my favorite path. I am excited for the journey ahead under his guidance.
I would also like to take this moment to express my profound gratitude to God for the gift of Pope Francis. I will never forget his special Jubilee Year of Mercy and his tireless efforts to include everyone in Jesus' gospel of love.
Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms out there, from all walks of life and corners of the world! I hope you all have a blessed day celebrating your earthly mother and our beautiful Mother in Heaven!
-Susan
