CWN Editor's Note: At the conclusion of Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square, the culminating event of the Jubilee of Marian Spirituality, Pope Leo XIV entrusted the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (booklet, pp. 47-48) in the presence of the original statue of Our Lady of Fatima, brought from Portugal for the occasion.
Earlier, during his homily, Pope Leo lauded Marian spirituality. “Our affection for Mary of Nazareth,” he preached, “leads us to join her in becoming disciples of Jesus.”
“Mary’s path follows that of Jesus, which leads us to encounter every human being, especially the poor, the wounded and sinners,” he added. “Because of this, authentic Marian spirituality brings God’s tenderness”
