Marian feasts in May

The month of May is traditionally dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church. It is a month of devotion, prayer and celebrations, when the faithful turn their gaze more especially to the Mother of Christ. Among the concrete expressions of this Marian piety are several important liturgical feasts, rooted in the tradition and theology of the Church. These feasts are not there simply to honour Mary, but to help Christians enter more fully into the mystery of salvation, through her who was its humble handmaid. Read more...

Why is the Pope taking on a new name?

A thousand-year-old tradition with biblical and spiritual rootsThe change of name at the election of a pope is a tradition as ancient as it is rich in meaning. Although no canonical text requires it, over the centuries this custom has become an essential stage in the beginning of each pontificate. It dates back to the 7th century, when the first pontiff to change his name, John II, chose to abandon his birth name, Mercurius, which evoked a pagan god, and adopt a Christian name.Since then, each newly elected pope chooses a new name, marking a form of new birth in his mission. This gesture is not insignificant: it expresses an inner break, a personal commitment, and above all a spiritual desire to inscribe his pontificate in a certain filiation.Taking a new name means becoming another man for another service: no longer just the bishop elected from among others, but the successor of Peter, universal pastor of the Catholic Church.

What does Pope Leo XIV's motto "In Illo Uno Unum" mean?

A Latin motto at the heart of the pontificateAs soon as his election was announced, Pope Leo XIV unveiled a brief but profound motto: In Illo Uno Unum, which in Latin means "One in Him who is One". Just three words, but of immense theological and spiritual density. The phrase is directly inspired by Christ's prayer in the Gospel according to Saint John (17:21): "That they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, that they may all be one in us."In choosing this motto, Leo XIV was not proposing a political slogan or a simplified message, but an invitation to unity rooted in God, a unity that comes not from human efforts or a fragile consensus, but from a deep spiritual communion with Christ.
