Pope Leo XIV Christmas Message - Midnight Mass

In this Christmas message from Saint Peter’s Square, Pope Leo XIV welcomes the faithful and reflects on the light that breaks into the world with the birth of Christ. Drawing on Isaiah, Luke, Titus, and the Psalms, he contrasts humanity’s search in the skies with God’s decision to come among us as a child. The homily calls listeners to recognize the dignity of every person, to make room for God by making room for others, and to carry the hope of Christmas into a world still marked by darkness. A moving meditation on faith, charity, and hope as the Jubilee year draws to a close.

Peace Be With You All: The First Words of Pope Leo XIV

In this return episode of Popesplaining, we reflect on the historic Urbi et Orbi blessing of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, delivered from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica on May 8, 2025. With humility and boldness, Pope Leo’s first words as pontiff echo the risen Christ: “Peace be with you all.” But this is more than a greeting—it’s a call to mission. Join us as we explore the themes of peace, bridge-building, synodality, and the deep spiritual roots that shape the heart of the new pope. What does it mean to be a Church that moves forward together? And how are we called to respond? Whether you’re a seasoned Vatican-watcher or simply curious about the voice of the successor of Peter, this episode will ground you in the moment and mission of a Church alive in the Spirit.
