Habemus Papam!!!!!!!!

Prima Benedictio Sanctitatis Suae Papae Leonis XIV, First Blessing of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV

Well, would you look at that... Congratulations to Chicago's own Pope Leo XIV

[Meditation for Friday of the Third Week of Easter] God, you have appointed blessed Peter as the head of the apostles and have provided for the foundation of your Church. Look with mercy on our Pope Leo XIV,

the successor of Peter, and grant that he may lead the people of God as the source and foundation of the unity and communion of faith. Amen.

It has been a week since Pope Leo XIV was elected, and the inauguration mass will be held next Sunday. On the 9th, at the mass he celebrated with the College of Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, the venue of the conclave, the Pope began his speech in his native language, English.

Most people responded, "Now I can understand the Pope's words without translation. It is surreal to hear him speak in our language." That is understandable, as the liturgical languages ​​of the Holy See are Latin and Italian.

However, the fact that he spoke in English as his first official mass can be interpreted as the Pope's intention to pursue a "global Catholic Church" by using English, the universal language, as well as the traditional order.

I, too, find the Pope's English speeches unfamiliar, but I want to hear them often.

On May 9, I attended the ceremony to donate the honorarium of 100,000 won from the Night of the Virgin Mary at Baekhak Chapel of Ease in Jeokseong Catholic Church, Diocese of Uijeongbu through the One Hart One Body Movement Headquarters’ Life Cycle Donation Program.

Today’s donation will be used to support domestic patient treatment costs.

After attending the 6 p.m. mass at Myeongdong Cathedral on Friday of the 4th week of Easter, following the One Hart One Body Movement headquarters delivery ceremony, I pledged to follow the Lord, who is the way and the truth and the life, as in today's gospel.

[Meeting of the American Pope and the Vice President of the United States] Yesterday, the inauguration mass of the 267th Pope, Pope Leo XIV, was held at the Holy See. Vice President J.D. Vance (Augustine) and Mrs. Usha Vance,

the second-highest ranking Catholics in the United States, led the delegation and attended the event. It was impressive to meet the vice president and his wife of the superpower, the United States, and the head of the Catholic Church with 1.4 billion members.

In fact, since the Pope-elect, my focus has been on the Catholic Church in the United States. The Catholic Church in the United States, which has produced a pope and is an ally of South Korea, has not been well known in Korea, having been overshadowed by Protestantism.

That is why I am currently planning to visit overseas Catholic churches in the latter half of this year or early next year, but rather than Europe, and am currently focusing on Brookland in Washington D.C., which is called the small Holy See in the United States.
