With the first prayer intention of the year, Pope Leo XIV invites us to rediscover the transforming power of God’s Word, the Word in which “we find the light that guides our steps.” Along with the Holy Father, we turn to prayer, asking that we might be a Church that “prays with the Word, that is built upon it and shares it with joy, so that in every person, the hope of a new world may be born again.

Pope Leo XIV met with influencers back in July. This is what he told them. (In the text below, the regular text is taken directly from the Pope's meeting with influencers on 29 July 2025. The italics are further reflections and ideas about how to put his advice into practice.)

Fr. Joseph Tormo, a priest of Opus Dei, died on Monday 5 January 2026 at the age of 73. Fr. Joseph came to Nigeria from Spain 40 years ago, at the age of 33, just six years after his ordination, to serve the people and the Church through his priestly ministry. He gave himself fully to his pastoral work. Nigeria for him, was not just a place of assignment, but his home.

In his 7 January general audience, Pope Leo XIV began a new catechetical cycle dedicated to the Second Vatican Council.

Much of our apostolate consists of sharing our serene joy with the hearts of those who are troubled and without hope.

Temperance makes us people who hold on to what’s important and let go of what isn’t. It’s the harmony and strength that protects us from snapping in a crisis. This article is part of a series on the virtues, inspired by St. Josemaría’s homily “Human Virtues.”

The mystery of the Trinity is at the very heart of the Christian faith. The Catechism calls it “the central mystery of Christian faith and life” (CCC 234), because it answers the most important question of all: Who is God? While we can never fully grasp this mystery, we can understand it enough to believe, pray, and live in relationship with God.
