Even popes.<\/span><\/p><p><span>As for Leo, he\u2019s unafraid. <\/span><span>He sees his job as preaching the Gospel fearlessly, and he said so from the very outset of his papacy. What he said ought to inspire and uplift all of us at a time when so much else in the world seems to be falling apart.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Arms Outstretched<\/b><\/h2><p><span>The pope is the successor to St. Peter.<\/span><\/p><p><span>It was Simon Peter whom Christ identified as the rock for building His church. \u201cYou are Peter,\u201d proclaimed Christ, \u201cand on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.\u201d (Matthew 16:18)<\/span><\/p><p><span>To the early Christians, Peter was the head of their Church \u2014 the first in a long line of 267 pontiffs from the first century A.D. to our current day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span>And like Christ himself, the first pope was destined to become a martyr.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span>Christ had signaled as much. He told his Apostles that if they truly wanted to follow Him, they needed to pick up their cross. As for Peter specifically, Jesus had forewarned him after the Resurrection: \u201cVery truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.\u201d According to John\u2019s Gospel (21:15\u201319), \u201cJesus said this to indicate the kind of death\u00a0by which Peter would glorify God. And when He had said this, He said to him, \u2018Follow me.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span>It was the Emperor Nero, one of history\u2019s worst cretins, a vulgarian of a man, and very much the first pope\u2019s lesser, who ensured just that. He had Peter flogged and scourged. Though historians don\u2019t know every detail of his final hours, Peter likely carried upon his shoulders the crossbeam to which he would be nailed. He was then crucified like Christ, but also distinctly unlike Christ. It is said that Peter asked his executioners to crucify him upside down, deeming himself unworthy to die in the same manner as his Lord.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span>That was how Peter perished. Mourning Christians rushed to his corpse and buried it. Peter\u2019s body is still in Rome to this day. St. Peter\u2019s Basilica is built above his body. It is truly St. Peter\u2019s church.<\/span><\/p><p><span>Like Peter, every pope since has been called to be willing to give his life for his flock, up through the Medieval period to modern times.<\/span><\/p><p><span>During World War II, Hitler\u2019s goons were in Rome and outside the Vatican gates. The <\/span><span>F\u00fchrer<\/span><span> had a plan, a plot, to kidnap Pope Pius XII. Some urged the pope to flee. He refused. \u201cThis is where Christ told Peter the Church should be built,\u201d said Pius. \u201cAnd here is where the Pope will remain.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span>Pius XII was unafraid.<\/span><\/p><p><span>A few decades later, the Soviets had a plot to kill the pope, which commenced on May 13, 1981, the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima, as communists from Bulgaria and Turkey conspired with Moscow to assassinate Pope John Paul II in St. Peter\u2019s Square, right by that ancient obelisk where Peter was scourged. They did not kill John Paul II, whose unofficial papal motto was those words that ring throughout the New Testament, from the Angel Gabriel\u2019s words to Mary at the Annunciation to those of Christ himself: Be not afraid.<\/span><\/p><p><span>Pope Leo, too, has invoked those words from the outset of his papacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>\u201cYou Have Called Me to Carry That Cross\u201d<\/b><\/h2><p><span>On May 8, 2025, 69-year-old Robert Francis Prevost stepped out onto the Loggia with a new name and mission: he was now Pope Leo XIV. His first word was peace. He said in Italian, \u201c<\/span><i><span>La pace sia con tutti voi<\/span><\/i><span>.\u201d Translation: \u201cPeace be with all of you.\u201d The American spoke also in Latin, the language of the Church.<\/span><\/p><p><span>It was the next morning, May 9, that the new pope publicly uttered his first words in his native American tongue. And there, at the Sistine Chapel, under the shadow of Michelangelo\u2019s Last Judgment, the Holy Father keenly identified with Peter\u2019s sacrifice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/?p=408\">Qintel Puts Pittsburgh on the Map for Cyber Intelligence<\/a><\/p><p><span>\u201cI will begin with a word in English, and the rest is in Italian,\u201d the Chicago native began his homily. \u201cMy brother Cardinals, as we celebrate this morning, I invite you to recognize the marvels that the Lord has done, the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out on all of us through the Ministry of Peter. You have called me to carry that cross, and to be blessed with that mission.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span>That\u2019s the mission of carrying the cross, perhaps even with arms outstretched to where he doesn\u2019t want to go.<\/span><\/p><p><span>Thereafter, the Bishop of Rome switched to the tongue of his fellow Romans. He took his flock back 2,000 years to Rome. He gave a powerful homily that included some harrowing words from not only the martyred St. Peter but the martyred St. Ignatius of Antioch.<\/span><\/p><p><span>Circa 107\/110 A.D., Ignatius was captured and transported across the Mediterranean to Rome \u2014 to be publicly devoured by lions in the amphitheater. And yet, he was carried to his death with a sense not of foreboding but of joy. His epistle to the Romans is extraordinary. He prayed that no one would intervene to spare him, wanting to become \u201ca meal for the beasts, for it is they who can provide my way to God. I am His wheat, ground fine by the lions\u2019 teeth to be made purest bread for Christ.\u201d He hoped: \u201clet them not leave the smallest scrap of my flesh, so that I need not be a burden to anyone after I fall asleep. When there is no trace of my body left for the world to see, then I shall truly be Jesus Christ\u2019s disciple.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span>As Pope Leo would make clear, those words are not to be taken lightly 2,000 years later, made safer by the distant passage of time, including for every pope. Leo said of Ignatius: \u201cI say this first of all for myself, as the Successor of Peter, as I begin my mission as Bishop of the Church in Rome, called to preside in charity over the universal Church, according to the famous expression of Saint Ignatius of Antioch.\u201d Leo recounted Ignatius\u2019 courage: \u201cLed in chains to this city, the place of his imminent sacrifice, he wrote to the Christians who were there: \u2018Then I shall truly be a disciple of Jesus Christ, when the world does not see my body.\u2019 He was referring to being devoured by wild beasts in the circus \u2014 and so it happened.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span>As the new pope put it, Ignatius\u2019 actions \u201crecall in a more general sense an indispensable commitment for anyone in the Church exercising a ministry of authority: to disappear so that Christ remains, to make himself small so that he may be known and glorified (cf. John\u00a03:30), to expend oneself to the end so that no one lacks the opportunity to know and love him.\u201d Leo XIV closed: \u201cMay God give me this grace, today and always.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span>That was the message in the first homily of Pope Leo XIV. Like Ignatius of Antioch, he must be willing to give his life for Christ. <\/span><span>The shepherd must be willing to die for his flock.<\/span><\/p><p><span>Pope Leo soon further drove home that message at a revealing moment. He would not officially become pontiff for another week and a half, namely at his official installation ceremony on May 18 at the Vatican.<\/span><\/p><p><span>The rite of installation began inside St. Peter\u2019s Basilica. Before the heir to the Chair of Peter journeys to the square for Mass, he visits Peter. He descends the stairs under the main altar, downward to the crypt where Peter\u2019s bones have lain for 2,000 years.<\/span><\/p><p><span>There, after Peter met Peter, Leo ventured outside to St. Peter\u2019s Square for the formal installation, where he would receive the Fisherman\u2019s Ring. The ring is an ever-present, visible symbol of the Holy Father\u2019s papacy, worn always, never removed, until his death. It invokes St. Peter\u2019s trade as a fisherman, and much more. Jesus told the Galilean fisherman to push out into the deep and lower his nets. He also called on Peter and the Apostles to become \u201cfishers of men.\u201d<\/span><\/p><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Black and white ink sketch of a domed stone church.\" class=\"wp-image-412\" height=\"877\" src=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/14b62d3ad558a6ad689e813d70be787e-1024x877.png\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/14b62d3ad558a6ad689e813d70be787e-1024x877.png 1024w, https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/14b62d3ad558a6ad689e813d70be787e-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/14b62d3ad558a6ad689e813d70be787e-768x658.png 768w, https:\/\/nationallogisticspost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/14b62d3ad558a6ad689e813d70be787e.png 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><em>Art by Bill Wilson<\/em><\/p><\/div><p><span>As Leo prepared to receive the ring that day, May 18, the faithful gathered in St. Peter\u2019s Square to hear those exact verses from Peter, \u201cI am going fishing,\u201d and from Jesus, \u201cI will make you fishers of men.\u201d Particularly meaningfully, the flock contemplated Jesus\u2019 thrice-repeated question to Peter, \u201cDo you love me?\u201d and then Jesus\u2019 prophetic warning to the fisherman that he ultimately would be led \u201carms outstretched\u201d to places he would not desire to go.<\/span><\/p><p><span>The meaning was obviously significant.
