Pope Leo XIV offered prayers for mothers around the world during the Regina Coeli in St. Peter’s Square on May 10, calling on the faithful to remember especially those facing hardship.
According to Vatican News, the Pope entrusted all mothers to the care of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
“Through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, let us pray with affection and gratitude for every mother, especially for those living in the most difficult conditions,” Pope Leo said.
The Holy Father also extended fraternal greetings to His Holiness Tawadros II, head of the Coptic Orthodox Church, as the Church marked the annual “Day of Coptic-Catholic Friendship” on May 10.
As reported by Vatican News, Pope Leo assured prayers for the Coptic community and expressed hope for deeper Christian unity.
“I extend a fraternal greeting to His Holiness Pope Tawadros II and assure my prayers for the entire beloved Coptic Church, in the hope that our journey of friendship may lead us to perfect unity in Christ, who has called us ‘friends,’” he said.
The Pope also thanked the people of the Canary Islands for their welcoming spirit, particularly after authorities allowed passengers from the Hondius cruise ship, which had hantavirus cases on board, to disembark.
Vatican News reported that Pope Leo is scheduled to visit Spain from June 6 to 12. The apostolic journey will conclude with visits to Tenerife and Gran Canaria, where he is expected to meet migrants and organizations assisting them.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
