At this point in the year, more than a few commentators are launching into a review of the first few months of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV<\/a>. My impression is that perhaps too much is being pretended, and that such a short time barely serves to glimpse the horizons of a pontificate that, if God does not provide otherwise, has a long life ahead of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pillars of the new Pope's pontificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And, without wanting to interpret anything, I will only underline three details that are doing a lot of good to the souls of believers who are well disposed to pray and venerate the Pope Leo XIV<\/strong>. These three details are: the centrality of Jesus Christ, true God and true man; the veneration and devotion to Mary, Mother of God<\/a>; and the prospect of eternal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centrality of Christ was clearly manifested in the episode that occurred while Leo XIV was visiting the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. He wanted to follow the visit, and not stop to pray with the Emirs. In an interview a few days later, the Pope indicated that he wanted to pray in a church, before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. That is, to pray adoring the true God the Son, made Eucharist, food for eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
