What does it really mean to pray for the Pope? In this episode, Fr Columba shares a heartfelt reflection on the humanity and burden of the Holy Father — Pope Leo XIV — and our shared responsibility to intercede for him. Drawing on personal experience, Fr Columba reveals how prayer unites us not only with the Pope, but with Christ Himself, reminding us that even the one who leads the Church is first a beloved child of God. Discover why praying for the Pope matters — and how your prayers can strengthen the entire Body of Christ.
