In the guestbook at Genazzano, the city of the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Counsel, which he visited today, Pope Leo XIV wrote the following:
“Still in the first days of the pontificate, I felt the duty and a deep longing to approach Genazzano, the shrine of Our Lady of Good Counsel, who, throughout my life, has accompanied me with her maternal presence, with her wisdom, and the example of her love for her son who is always the center of my faith. Way, truth and life.
"Thank you Mother, for your help - accompany me in this new mission”
Leo PP XIV
