Pope Leo XIV Set to Share Vision for World Peace with U.S. Readers Next February
The Catholic Church is making a big move in the publishing world as it announces its first full-length book by Pope Leo XIV, set to hit American shelves next February. The title, "Peace Be With You! My Words to the Church and to the World," promises a message of unity, reconciliation, and peace in today's fractured global landscape.
According to HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, the book will include sermons and addresses given by Pope Leo XIV since his election last May. The publisher describes it as "a vision for peace" that readers will find inspiring.
At its core, the title is based on Pope Leo's first public remarks as pope when he appeared at St. Peter's Basilica in May. His message of peace and unity was simple yet powerful: "I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world," Pope Leo XIV said. "Peace be with you!"
For readers familiar with works by previous popes John Paul II and Francis, this marks another milestone for Pope Leo XIV in sharing his message of peace and unity with a wider audience through publishing.
