Benvenuto Papa Leone XIV: Il Nuovo Pontefice Inizia il Suo Cammino

Giovedì, 8 Maggio – Il mondo celebra l’elezione del nuovo Pontefice: Benvenuto Papa Leone XIV!

Sorridente ed emozionato, ha salutato per la prima volta i fedeli riuniti in Piazza San Pietro a Roma. Robert Francis Prevost, successore di Papa Francesco, ha scelto il nome di Leone XIV. Nato il 14 settembre 1955 a Chicago, negli Stati Uniti, è il primo Papa nordamericano. In ordine cronologico, è il 267° Papa della Chiesa cattolica.

Papa Leone XIV si inserisce nella continuità della tradizione papale e invita l’umanità a costruire ponti per promuovere la pace nel mondo. Preghiamo per lui affinché il suo cammino sia una guida fondamentale per il sostegno dei valori cristiani e dei principi basati sulla fede.
