Offer Your Spiritual Bouquet for Pope Leo XIV
June 2025
Friends,
It’s an exciting time in the Church and the world as we continue to welcome, get to know, and pray for our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.
I have written a special prayer for him and I hope you are joining me in saying the prayer daily.
If you haven’t already done so, I hope you will send me your own 'spiritual bouquets' for him—Holy Hours, Rosaries, Masses, other prayers and sacrifices. I am gathering these to send to him as a gift from our Priests for Life family.
Like the Pope, Priests for Life’s Pastoral Associate, Fr. Denis Wilde, O.S.A., is also an Augustinian and was a professor of music at Villanova when the new Holy Father was a seminarian there. Fr. Denis knew him personally and shared that then-seminarian Robert Prevost was an influential member of Villanovans for Life, which promoted the pro-life message on campus and is still going strong today. The Pope’s heart and mind were with the pro-life cause then, and this still shines through in his preaching.
On a personal note, I also ask you to join me in praying that Pope Leo XIV restores the exercise of my sacramental priesthood. As so many of you have said, I am always a priest, and people always call me “Father.” The new pope will receive a request from me to end the persecution that some in the hierarchy have been carrying out.
May I count on your prayers?

Please also share this email with as many others as you can.
I know I can count on you, and thank you for being part of the Priests for Life Family!
