Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, greeted the world for the first time on Thursday, May 8, offering his Urbi et Orbi (to the city and the world) blessing from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica following his election as the 267th Successor of Peter.

“We have a sacred duty to move forward together—as one people, one Church, and one community of believers. Let us be disciples of peace, committed to dialogue, negotiation, and mediation.” Pope Leo XIV urged.

The new pope was elected by 133 Cardinal electors after a conclave at the Vatican. Notably, he was elevated to the College of Cardinals only two years ago, making his rapid ascent to the papacy a significant moment in Church history.

In his inaugural address, Pope Leo XIV delivered a message of gratitude, humility, and unity. He began by honouring the late Pope Francis, expressing admiration for his dedication to the Church, especially during his final days.

“First, I offer deep thanks to Pope Francis of blessed memory, who shepherded the Church with humility and strength. His presence here on Easter Sunday, despite his illness, is a testament to his unwavering devotion.”

The Pope then spoke of God’s boundless love, reminding the faithful of the Church’s universal mission.

“Let us never forget—God loves everyone. Whether you are within the Church or outside its walls, you are in God’s hands.”

He called for a spirit of togetherness in tackling the world’s many challenges.

“We have a sacred duty to move forward together—as one people, one Church, and one community of believers. Let us be disciples of peace, committed to dialogue, negotiation, and mediation.” Pope Leo XIV urged.

Thanking the College of Cardinals for their trust, Pope Leo XIV humbly acknowledged that the task ahead requires collective support.

“I thank the cardinal electors for choosing me to be your servant and successor to Pope Francis (late). But I cannot do this alone. I ask the cardinals to walk with me and work with me as we proclaim the Gospel.”

In his concluding his remarks that ended with a Hail Mary Prayer, Pope Leo XIV extended a heartfelt message to the world:

“To the people of the world—I send you my blessings. May you remain faithful in all you do, and may your hearts always be open to love, mercy, and hope.”
