In his first public address as Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost extended a heartfelt message of peace and unity from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. Delivered in Italian and Spanish, his speech honored Pope Francis, emphasized humility, and called for a global mission of justice and dialogue. A son of Saint Augustine, he urged the Church to build bridges, embrace suffering, and become a community for all. With special greetings to his former diocese in Peru and invocations to Mary, Pope Leo sets a hopeful, bold tone for his papacy in uncertain times.

Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties. Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms. He vows to build on Pope Francis’ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice. With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIV’s papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.
