New York Archbishop Ronald Hicks said he and the Archdiocese were praying for Pope Leo XIV as he prepared for surgery, asking for protection and guidance for his medical team. In an October 11 reflection on the Gospel, Pope Leo encouraged people not to lose heart when their efforts are rejected, saying Christ’s invitation and joy remain open to all.
