“For you I am a bishop; with you I am a Christian”
These words Pope Leo XIV spoke, quoting his spiritual father, St. Augustine, in his first address after his May 8 election. Over the weeks since, Pope Leo has followed a busy schedule of meetings, public appearances, liturgies and visits with public figures and state dignitaries — and also members of his own order, the Augustinians, at the Augustinianum in Rome. We share those moments here.
