The Pontiff met with the 5,000 participants of the Jubilee of the Eastern Churches this Wednesday, May 14.

In his first audience at the Paul VI Hall, the Holy Father met this morning, May 12, with hundreds of journalists, urging them to “be promoters of peace, in favor of the Truth, and for those who have no voice.”

In his first Regina Coeli from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pope prayed for new vocations and called for an end to war, especially in Ukraine and Gaza.

"In Illo uno unum" are the words the Pontiff chose as his episcopal motto, taken from a sermon by Saint Augustine. The coat of arms also includes the image of a closed book with a heart pierced by an arrow, a reference to the Bishop of Hippo.
