The Universal Church and the entire world recently witnessed something that we don't see very often: A Papal Conclave. Only a handful in nearly 50 years. When Cardinal Prevost was introduced to the world as Pope Leo XIV, the world received a glimpse of the power of the Church and the Office of the Papacy. In one of Pope Leo's first messages, he called the mission of being the Pope both a cross and a blessing. The journey to holiness as a Catholic is not one for the faint of heart! But our Lord offers us all the grace we need to live a life of holiness and to strive for the perfection needed to attain Eternal Life. The papal name Leo has a long and powerful legacy from Pope Leo I (The Great) to Pope Leo XIII who penned the St Michael prayer and authored 86 encyclical letters! Let us continue to pray for Pope Leo XIV to continue the powerful legacy of his namesake and the Office of the Papacy.The Catholic Canuck Podcast is on social media!
