Pope Leo XIV's awaited first U.S.-bound book is set to hit shelves in February next year. HarperOne, a prominent publisher within the HarperCollins conglomerate, has secured worldwide rights to "Peace Be With You! My Words to the Church and to the World".
This forthcoming publication promises to be a comprehensive compilation of sermons and addresses delivered by Pope Leo XIV since his ascension to the papacy in May. The book's release is touted as an "inspiring vision for peace, unity, and reconciliation" in our increasingly fractured world.
The title itself takes its cue from the Pope's inaugural public address at St. Peter's Basilica, where he called out for universal peace, urging it to resonate deeply within individuals' hearts, families, and communities across the globe. "Peace be with you!" – a simple yet profound mantra – serves as both the book's title and its core message.
While not his first published work, this forthcoming release marks an important milestone in Pope Leo XIV's literary endeavors. The Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis titles from HarperOne's catalog serve as notable precedents for the esteemed publisher.

. But seriously, I'm excited to see what this book has to offer. The title "Peace Be With You" is pretty powerful, it already gives me chills just thinking about it. It's like he's speaking straight to your heart and soul. My only concern is that all the hype might overshadow some of his actual words, you know? Still, I'm hyped for February 2026! 
... and we're all gonna buy his book 
. Seriously though, it's cool that Pope Leo XIV is getting into the publishing game, but let's hope he can write better than his inaugural speech... because that was a bit cringeworthy 
. On the bright side, if anyone needs some inspiration for peace and unity, this book might just do the trick 
. Too bad it's gonna be $30+ to hold hands with Pope Leo 
.
. Seriously though, I'm not really sure why we need another spiritual leader writing books, but hey if it's gonna be inspiring that's cool, right? 
his message really resonates with me, especially with everything thats going on in the world right now. i mean, who wouldn't want a little more peace and unity? i've already pre-ordered my copy (like, like, 3 times 
. The title "Peace Be With You" sounds kinda deep tho, might just make me think about my own life and what I can do to bring more peace into the world
