Words from the address of the new Pope, Leo XIV:

Let us keep in our ears the faint voice of Pope Francis, who blessed Rome. The Pope who blessed Rome gave his blessing to the whole world that Easter morning. Allow me to continue that blessing. God loves us. God loves everyone. Evil will not prevail.
