Pope Leo XIV: Authentic Marian Spirituality Brings God’s Tenderness Into the Church

After delivering his homily, Pope Leo XIV dedicated the Church and the world to the Blessed Virgin Mary before the original statue of Our Lady of Fatima in St. Peter’s Square.

The Pope's Sunday Mass was attended by 30,000 pilgrims in Rome for the Jubilee of Marian Spiritualities, with thousands more gathering outside the Vatican.

During the Mass, the Holy Father expressed gratitude to members of movements, confraternities, prayer groups, and shrines dedicated to the Blessed Virgin for participating in the Church's holy year of hope.
