Dear Friend,
One year ago today, on May 8, 2025, the Church witnessed a moment of profound historical significance as Cardinal Robert Prevost ascended to the Chair of St. Peter. As the first pope from the United States, his election as Pope Leo XIV signaled a new chapter for the universal Church—one rooted in humility and a deep, ancestral faith. Today, we join the faithful across the globe in rejoicing and celebrating the first anniversary of his papacy, reflecting on a year defined by his steady leadership and compassionate heart.
In support of our ministry and to honor this milestone, we are proud to offer you a token of appreciation. When you make a gift today to help us continue our vital mission of evangelization, we will send you a set of beautiful Pope Leo XIV prayer cards and a newly published book about his spirituality: I Am a Son of Saint Augustine. Your generosity allows us to share the gospel and support the works of the Church during this historic era. |
From the moment he emerged onto the loggia of Saint Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV introduced himself to the world through the lens of his spiritual identity as “a son of Saint Augustine.” Word on Fire’s new book traces the remarkable journey of Robert Prevost, showing how his life—from his early formation and missionary work to his leadership within the Order of Saint Augustine—has been meticulously shaped by the teachings of this great Doctor of the Church. It is a powerful testament to how ancient wisdom continues to guide the modern papacy.
As we look toward the future of Pope Leo’s papacy, we ask for your continued prayers and partnership. Please consider making a donation today to sustain our mission. Your support is the engine that allows us to bring the light of Christ to the world, following the example of our Holy Father.
God bless you,
The Word on Fire Team |
