Pope Leo XIV's coat of arms consists of a shield divided into two sectors, each carrying a profound message.

On the left side, against a blue background, there is a stylized white lily, a traditional symbol of purity and innocence.

This flower, often associated with the Virgin Mary, immediately evokes the Marian dimension of the Pope’s spirituality.

This is not a purely devotional call, but a precise indication of the centrality that the Blessed Virgin Mary occupies in the way of the Church: a model of listening, humility, and total surrender to God.

On the right side of the shield, on a white background, is represented the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by an arrow and lying on a closed book.

This image, intense and full of meaning, refers to the mystery of Christ's redeeming sacrifice, a heart bruised by love for humanity, but also to the Word of God, represented by the closed book.

This closed book suggests that divine truth is sometimes veiled and must be received and pursued with the light of faith.

It's an invitation to trust and abandonment, to persevere in the pursuit of the Gospel’s deep meaning, even in moments of darkness.

The motto chosen by Pope Leo XIV, "In Illo uno unum" is taken from a commentary by Saint Augustine on Psalm 127, summarizes the core of his message: “In Him who is One, we are one. ”

These words reflect a Church, united in mind and heart by profession of the same one true Faith, despite the differences and tensions that inevitably permeate it in its human dimension.

It is an expression of communion founded and encountered in Christ's love, which makes brotherhood and reconciliation possible even in the most complex contexts.

It is not by accident that, in his greeting to the Church and the world, Pope Leo XIV spoke of precisely this: of a Church as a bridge, called to overcome divisions, to make space for meeting, listening and mercy.

Ultimately, through his coat of arms and motto, the new Pontiff proposes a vision of a missionary and Marian Church, deeply rooted in the love of Jesus Christ and faithful to the Gospel.

A Church willing to suffer and commit itself entirely to the service of God's people, aware that only in unity with the Lord can all diversity find harmony.

"All Things Are Passing": St. Teresa of Avila's Powerful Prayer for Peace in Times of Distress

Oct. 15 is the feast of Saint Teresa of Avila. She was a mystic, writer, Carmelite nun, and a reformer of the Carmelite Order. She is also one of four female Doctors of the Church.

According to tradition, “Saint Teresa’s Bookmark” was found in her prayer book after her death. It is a perfect prayer in times of distress or anxiety.

It puts into perspective life’s meaning: that we are here for God, and that this life and its sufferings will pass.

Saint Teresa’s message is clear: Do not distress. Do not be afraid. Do not lose hope. God is always with you and He alone will satisfy you.

Here is Saint Teresa of Avila's Bookmark prayer below:

“Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away.
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.”

Saint Teresa of Avila's prayer is also rooted in scripture.

For example, scripture tells us to "have no fear" 365 times - one for each day.

Jesus said, "Peace, I leave with you; peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid." (John 14:27)

Deut. 31:6 says, "Be strong and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the LORD, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you."

The world also passes away, according to 1 John 2:17.

"The world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever."

According to Hebrews 13:8, God never changes:

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

And 2 Cor. 12:9 says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”

Saint Teresa of Avila, please pray for us! 🙏
