Vatican spokesman reflects on papal election and abandoning oneself to Christ (Vatican News)

The editorial director of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication has published an editorial in which he thanked Pope Leo XIV “for accepting. Thank you for saying ‘yes’ and for abandoning yourself to the One who guides the Church.”

“Today, it is the world that is in the midst of a storm—shaken by war and violence,” said Andrea Tornielli. “Let us pray for peace. Let us pray with Peter and for Peter. And, confirmed by him in the faith, let us also learn to abandon ourselves to the One who reigns from the wood of the Cross, bearing on Himself the wounds of humanity.”
