The full homily from the first Mass of Pope Leo XIV, from the Sistine Chapel. Pope Leo XIV presided over the Holy Mass with the College of Cardinals, the day after his election as the 267th Pontiff.
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful, look favourably on your servant Leo XIV, whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd; grant, we pray, that by word and example he may be of service to those over whom he presides so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care, he may come to everlasting life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
