Pope Leo XIV at First Mass: ‘You Have Called Me to Carry That Cross’

I’ll start with a phrase in English and the remaining is in Italian. However I need to repeat the phrases from the responsorial psalm: “I’ll sing a brand new track to the Lord, as a result of he has executed marvels.” And certainly not simply with me, however with all of us, my brother cardinals, as we have a good time this morning, I invite you to acknowledge the marvels that the Lord has executed, the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out upon all of us. By way of the ministry of Peter, you could have known as me to hold that cross and to be blessed with that mission, and I do know I can depend on every certainly one of you to stroll with me as we proceed, as a church, as a group of pals of Jesus, as believers, to announce the excellent news, to announce the Gospel.
