Pope Leo XIV calls for peace and unity in a missionary church

From the balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square, Robert Cardinal Prevost, who took on the name of Pope Leo XIV, delivered his inaugural message last May 8.

He sounded a call for peace and unity in a missionary church, echoing his predecessor Pope Francis' final Urbi et Orbi message as the Bishop of Rome and the Holy Father of a global church before the latter passed away on Easter Monday.

Thirty-two years of his priesthood were devoted to being a missionary in Peru; the rest to being the leader of the Order of St. Augustine. As the new Pope, he spoke fondly of "my beloved diocese of Chiclayo, in Peru, where a faithful people accompanied their bishop, shared their faith and gave so much to continue being a Church that is faithful to Jesus Christ." It is the fourth most populous region of Peru.
