Habemus Papam! Welcome Pope Leo XIV!

Luis Ramos • May 8, 2025

I annonce to you a great joy: We have a Pope!”

ESPAÑOL ABAJO:


With hearts full of gratitude and hope, we share the historic news that the Church has a new Holy Father.

From the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Cardinal Protodeacon Dominique Mamberti proclaimed:


“I announce to you a great joy; we have a Pope:The Most Eminent and Most Reverend Lord,Lord Robert FrancisCardinal of the Holy Roman Church Prevost, who has taken the name Leo XIV.”

In a moment of joy and historic significance, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago was introduced as Pope Leo XIV, becoming the first pope from the United States and the first member of the Augustinian order to be elected pope. Appearing on the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica on May 8 — the feast of Our Lady of Pompeii — he greeted a jubilant crowd with words of peace and hope, invoking the witness of Pope Francis and the wisdom of St. Augustine: “For you I am a bishop; but with you I am a Christian.” A former missionary in Peru, he delighted the faithful by addressing his former diocese in Spanish before leading the Hail Mary and giving the traditional Urbi et Orbi blessing. Pope Leo XIV  now begins his ministry as the 267th Successor of St. Peter.We unite in prayer with Catholics around the world, asking the Lord to bless our new pope with wisdom, courage, and the heart of a true shepherd.

Let us rejoice in this moment of grace for the Church.


Habemus Papam! Thanks be to God!


ESPAÑOL:


Querida familia parroquial de Nuestra Señora de Fatima:

“¡Les anuncio una gran alegría: tenemos Papa!”

Con corazones llenos de gratitud y esperanza, compartimos la histórica noticia de que la Iglesia tiene un nuevo Santo Padre.

Desde el balcón de la Basílica de San Pedro, el Cardenal Protodiácono Dominique Mamberti proclamó:


  “Les anuncio una gran alegría; tenemos Papa:El Eminentísimo y Reverendísimo Señor,Robert FrancisCardenal de la Santa Iglesia Romana Prevost,quien ha tomado el nombre de León XIV.”


En un momento de gozo y profundo significado histórico, el Cardenal Robert Francis Prevost, de Chicago, fue presentado como el Papa León XIV, convirtiéndose en el primer papa originario de los Estados Unidos y el primer miembro de la orden agustina en ser elegido pontífice. Al aparecer en la logia de la Basílica de San Pedro el 8 de mayo — fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Pompeya — saludó a una multitud jubilosa con palabras de paz y esperanza, evocando el testimonio del Papa Francisco y la sabiduría de San Agustín: “Para ustedes soy obispo; con ustedes soy cristiano.”Misionero en el Perú durante varios años, conmovió a los fieles al dirigirse en español a su antigua diócesis antes de rezar el Ave María y otorgar la tradicional bendición Urbi et Orbi.

El Papa León XIV comienza ahora su ministerio como el 267.º Sucesor de San Pedro.Nos unimos en oración con los católicos de todo el mundo, pidiendo al Señor que bendiga a nuestro nuevo Papa con sabiduría, valentía y el corazón de un verdadero pastor.

Alegrémonos en este momento de gracia para la Iglesia.


¡Habemus Papam! ¡Gracias a Dios!

Our Lady of Fatima
