10 Things Pope Leo XIV Wants You to Know - Paperback

by Gemma Morató Sendra (Author)

A new era begins for the Church with Pope Leo XIV--Augustinian friar, missionary for distant lands, bishop among the poor, prefect entrusted with appointing pastors throughout the world, and now successor to Peter. Above all, Leo XIV has proven to be a tireless seeker of Truth. His vocation was born of that restlessness of heart to which Saint Augustine gave expression: "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." In the Augustinian spirit, Leo XIV has trusted the power of the gospel to shape his style: humble yet firm, quiet yet courageous. His path has been marked by service, listening, and quiet fidelity--a shepherd who walks with seekers, unafraid of their questions, patient in accompaniment.

So, what does Pope Leo XIV want us to know in order to live the gospel more faithfully? How can we ensure that Christ remains the center of our lives? Leo XIV invites us to live a faith that is alive and open to the world. The following pages explore ten themes inspired by his first Urbi et Orbi blessing as Peter's successor, given on May 8, 2025. Here we're invited to embrace a posture of listening from one who has made that his life's work.
