The youth vigil may have been for young people, but Pope Leo drew far more than teenagers to the Monumento de los Españoles in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Riding in the Popemobile, the Holy Father stopped to bless at least 30 babies, something that only happens when you’re the Pope…

Imagine being just a couple of months old and already having been blessed by a pope! This tiny baby might be the youngest (and cutest) Uruguayan to meet the pope and receive his blessing so far. We love every encounter between Pope Leo and babies, and we know he loves them too.

Dozens of children dressed up as saints waited hours for the chance to meet Pope Leo! And when the time finally came for the pope's ride on the pope mobile, they were front row and even got to interact with the Holy Father! Their patience paid off!

A new book from EWTN Publishing examines Mother Angelica’s collected writings on wisdom, suffering, and life issues. The book includes excerpts from the dozens of prayer pamphlets Mother Angelica wrote before the network began. The inspiration for those works came after she spent time in adoration and wrote her ideas on a legal pad. EWTN Chaplain Fr. Joseph Mary Wolfe, a longtime friend of the late EWTN foundress, reveals the inside story on “The Collected Spiritual Works of Mother Angelica.”
