Robert Prevost, a missionary who spent his career ministering in Peru and leads the Vatican’s powerful office of bishops, was elected the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church.
Prevost, a 69 member of the Augustinian religious order, took the name Leo XIV. He appeared on the loggia of St. Peter's Square wearing the traditional red cape of the papacy — a cape that Pope Francis had eschewed on his election in 2013.

02:56Grazie.
02:57Grazie.
02:58And we still have the sound in our ears of the weak voice of Pope Francis, who was blessing
03:10Rome here.
03:15We have that fresh in our minds, in our hearts, in our ears, hearing his voice, the Pope who
03:22was blessing Rome, giving his blessing to the world on that morning, on that day of Easter
03:31Sunday.
03:31Allow me to continue that same blessing.
03:39God loves everyone.
03:43Evil will not prevail.
03:46We are all in the hands of God.
03:52So, without fear, united, hand in hand, with God and among ourselves, we go forward.
04:03We are disciples of Christ.
04:06Christ goes before us.
04:10The world needs his light.
04:15Humanity needs him.
04:16But as the bridge between God and his love, may we all build bridges with dialogue and
04:32encounter so that we can all be one people, all in peace.
04:39Thank you, Pope Francis, for all you've done.
04:47We're hearing the first words here of Pope Leo XIV, just elected Pope.
04:53I'd like to also thank my brother Cardinals, who chose me to be the successor, Peter, and
05:07to walk along with you, searching all together for peace and justice, and working together,
05:18men and women, faithful to Christ, without fear, to proclaim the gospel, to be missionaries.
05:28Pope Leo XIV, offering these initial words, which we're just translating on the fly here.
05:41I'm a son of St. Augustine, and I'm an Augustinian.
05:44We said, with you I am a Christian, and for you I am a bishop.
05:58So may we all walk together towards that, to the place that God has prepared for us.
06:10May we walk together, accompany each other, to the Church of Rome, a special greeting.
06:21As bishop of Rome, of course, a special greeting.
06:24We've got to look at how we can together be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges,
06:37that is always open to receive everyone, just like in this square, to receive everyone,
06:46to welcome everyone, to welcome everyone, our charity, our dialogue, and love.
06:55And now, a greeting in Spanish.
06:58To all of you, but especially to the people of my diocese of Chiclayo, in Peru.
07:16Where we had such faithful people accompanying the bishop, and we had such faithful people helping the bishop.
07:36To all of you, the people of Rome and of Italy.
07:45We need to be a synodal church, a church that's a pilgrim, that shows charity always.
07:56Especially to those who suffer, and especially is charitable to those who are suffering.
08:07Today, is the day of praying to the Madonna of Pompeii.
08:18Our Blessed Mother Mary always wants to be close to us.
08:29She always wants to intercede for us, through her love.
08:33So, let us pray together for this new mission, for all of the Church, for peace in the world.
08:43That she will help us get the, give us a special grace, our Mother.
08:50Ave Maria, piena di grazia, il Signore è con te.
08:54The Lord is with you.
08:56You are blessed among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
09:02Santa Maria, Madre di Dio,
09:05pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
09:10Amen.
09:11Amen.
09:15Pope Leo the 14th there.
09:16Pope Leo the 14th, very interesting.
09:18A few themes coming out already there from his first piece.
09:22Talking about peace.
09:23Indeed, saying a greeting of peace.
09:25May my greeting of peace enter into your hearts and reach your families,
09:28all people, wherever you are, all peoples of the entire planet.
09:33May peace be with you.
09:34God's peace be with you.
09:35Okay.
09:36God's peace be with you, he said.
09:37And here we see him in his, after having given that opening and beautiful words to all.
09:43Continuing also the message of Pope Francis, where he even said in Spanish and Italian,
09:47to all people in the square and all receiving or hearing this through new technology online,
10:03everywhere, offers his plenary indulgence in the formula established by the Church.
10:10We pray to Almighty God that he may keep the Pope and protect him and guide the Church and the entire world.
10:23Now he'll give us this most solemn blessing to the entire world, to all of you joining us.
10:31To everyone.
10:32So we now prepare ourselves to receive this solemn blessing wherever we are,
10:36at home, in your car, at work, wherever you are.
10:40Sancti Apostoli, Petrus et Paulus, de quorum potestat et autoritate confidimus.
10:50Ipsi intercedat pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.
10:53The Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul.
10:55And we also pray to the Blessed Mary, to St. John.
11:08and Pauli et Omnium Sanctorum.
11:11Miseriatur Vestri Omnipotens Deus, et dimisis Omnibus Pecatis Vestris,
11:18perducat vos, Iesus Christus, ad Vitam Eternam.
11:22Amen.
11:24Indulgentiam, Absolutionem, et Remissionem Omnium Pecatorum Vestrorum,
11:31Spatium Vere et Fructuose Penitentie,
11:35cor semper penitens, et emendationem vite,
11:40gratiam et consolationem Sancti Spiritus,
11:45et finalem perseverantiam in bonis operibus,
11:49tribuat vobis, omnipotens et misericors Dominus.
11:54Amen.
11:56Et benedictio Dei Omnipotentis,
12:00Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti,
12:05discendat supervos et maniat semper.
12:09Amen.
12:10Amen.
12:11Aaaahhhh!
12:21And we just hear the blessing there, received the blessing there of Popolio XIV,
12:23and to the world, to the city.
12:28This most solemn blessing to all of us and all of you listening and watching out there.
12:32and all of you listening and watching out there.
12:37What is interesting, he's smiling,
12:40and I found very touching the fact that he made reference
12:43to his former diocese in Peru
12:47and spoke to them in Spanish.
12:50You know, very, very touching moment,
12:52and how they are thanking them for how they accompanied him.
12:55And so from this moment,
12:57I think we all accompanied the new Holy Father.
13:02With our prayers and support.
13:05And once again, he asked, just like Pope Francis did before,
13:09he asked for continued prayers.
13:10You know, this is a heavy task, as we all noted before,
13:15and he continues to ask all of us for prayers
13:17and also for the intercession of Our Lady on the special feast day.
13:22And he asked us especially to be bridge builders,
13:24as he is pontifex, a bridge builder as well,
13:27but that we should all be building bridges,
13:29both here in the diocese of Rome, in Italy, and throughout the world.
13:33And that we should build that on fraternity
13:36and on solidarity and on dialogue.
13:41So many times Pope Francis told us the same.
13:45You know, there have been false debates, I think,
13:48in leading up to this about unity and diversity and things,
13:51but he's made it clear that he's looking for us to be united,
13:55but also to be the bridge builders
13:57and to bring about peace in the world through our bridge building.
14:02We're seeing this stunning...
