Pope Leo XIV receives a warm welcome from Vatican employees and their families on Saturday. The Pope invited Curia officials and everyone connected to the Vatican to mix faith and prayer into their daily tasks, since they are like "salt to food: they give it flavor." The audience in the Paul VI Hall marked the Holy Father's first encounter since being elected Pope with officials of the Roman Curia and employees of the Holy See, the Governorate of Vatican City State, and the Vicariate of Rome. |
