In Rome this morning (Oct. 11) Pope Leo XIV announced that he will soon undergo surgery to address a health concern affecting his lung.

I ask all the faithful of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, and all people of goodwill, to join with me in prayer for the Holy Father, that his surgery may be successful and his recovery swift. May the Lord, the Divine Physician, grant him comfort and strength now and always.
