CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV celebrated Vespers on the evening of October 6 in the chapel of Domus Australia, a guest house in Rome. Cardinals Raymond Burke, Edwin O’Brien, and Willem Jacobus Eijk were also present, the Vatican newspaper reported.
Recalling the chapel’s patronal feast of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii, celebrated the following day, Pope Leo said that “this devotion to Our Blessed Mother holds a special place in my heart.”
Mary, the Pope continued, embodied the virtue of hope “through her trust that God would fulfil his promises. This hope, in turn, gave her the strength and courage to spend her life willingly for the sake of the Gospel and abandon herself entirely to God’s will.”
