As the takes flew yesterday--people trying to claim the pope, throw him away, cheer and jeer--the most remarkable thing to me was how stupendously the world flurries and crashes around the rock of the Catholic Church.
@Catholicizm1 my only hope is this...Leo XIII gave us the Saint Michael Prayer. Leo XIII heard Jesus tell Satan he had 100 years to destroy the church. Today on this day is the feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael, and this pope takes the name Leo XIV...chew on that for a bit
We should be very encouraged by Pope Leo XIV's choice of name. We can hope and pray that the many great and holy Pope Leos of the past will guide him as he begins his pontificate.

The Cardinals gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as the 267th Pope, who took the name Pope Leo XIV.
White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.

@wifegirlfrnd Yes - Pixie! I have their cups but they sell pads too. They’re a small Christian family owned business. Here’s their website (they’re also on Amazon)
