Reflection by Pope Leo XIV "The capacity to gaze with wonder at the sun, the moon, and stars is a gift given to every human being, regardless of station or circumstance...Tragically, even this gift is now under threat." (Address to the Members of the Board of the Vatican Observatory Foundation, May 11, 2026)

Worth bearing in mind that, as with past encyclicals, the date it is signed is not necessarily the date it is released, which can be one, two or more weeks later. Laudato Si, for example, was signed May 24, 2015, but released on June 18. thedeaconsbench.com/report-leos-fi…

German News KNA: Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical is reportedly scheduled to be released on May 15. “Thematically, it is understood to address—among other topics—artificial intelligence, peace, and the crisis of international law, as well as other contemporary threats facing humanity. According to sources within the Vatican, the choice of May 15 as the date serves to underscore the historical significance of a major social encyclical. The first such doctrinal letter, titled ‘Rerum Novarum,’ was published by Leo XIII on May 15, 1891.”

Pope Leo meets with Catholic Charities USA. In his address, the Pope recognized that personal and institutional difficulties often confront those who seek to care for the poor. These include "demonstrating to others that this type of service is an integral part of authentic Christian living", the Pope said. Catholic Charities USA is “by no means immune from these challenges", Pope Leo said. “Yet," he emphasized, "it is precisely when we are confronted with such obstacles that we must learn to hear Jesus’ voice saying to us once more, ‘I am with you always!’”

Pope Leo was questioned about Trump’s latest attack while leaving Castel Gandolfo, Leo’s response: “I do not believe that Rubio is coming on Thursday to discuss what happened today—or because of what happened today. The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wishes to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully. For years, the Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons; therefore, there is absolutely no doubt on that front. Consequently, I simply hope to be heard for the sake of the value of God's words."

Pope Leo at General Audience: “No ecclesial institution can be treated as absolute; indeed, since they exist within history and time, they are called to continual conversion, to the renewal of forms and the reform of structures, to the continual regeneration of relationships, so that they may truly fulfil their mission.” vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Today in 1930, the Merchandise Mart opened and became the world's largest building. It was originally built to centralize the wholesale operations of Marshall Field & Co. It was so large, it had its own zip code. #chicago #history

Pope Leo to @CCharitiesUSA: “As was the case with the Apostles and with the early Church, the proclamation of the Gospel through caring for the poor and for those most in need will always present certain difficulties on both the personal and the institutional levels. These include finding sufficient resources, demonstrating to others that this type of service is an integral part of authentic Christian living, and not giving way to discouragement, particularly when we meet those whom we cannot help in the way that we would like.  I am fully aware that the Catholic Charities agencies in the United States of America are by no means immune from these challenges that continue to manifest themselves in our own day.” vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
