The greeting of the Risen Christ was the first message that the new Pontiff addressed to the people of God.

On the afternoon of May 8, the day in which the Virgin Mary of Pompeii is celebrated and the Apparitions of the Archangel Michael on Mount Gargano are remembered, from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica Leo XIV greeted the numerous faithful present in the square and connected through all the world’s media, wishing them peace: “disarmed and disarming” for every man and for every nation on Earth.

Augustinian, missionary, prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, Robert Francis Prevost is the first American Pope. The motto of his coat of arms, which takes up the words of St. Augustine in the commentary on Psalm 127, reads “In Illo uno unum” (In Him – in Christ – we are one) and calls for the unity of the Church that follows its Lord: this, therefore, is the meaning of his words “God loves us. God loves you all and evil will not prevail. We are all in the hands of God. Therefore, without fear, united, hand in hand with God and among ourselves, let us move forward” and “To walk together with you as a united church, always seeking peace, justice, always seeking to work as men and women faithful to Jesus Christ, without fear to proclaim the Gospel, to be missionaries”.

Only Love can save a world that looks more to weapons than to the poor and the disinherited.

Best wishes and prayers for the Holy Father: May Mary Most Holy and the Prince of the Angels watch over his pontificate.
