Installation Mass: The ceremony has changed over the years. Historically featured more pomp and pageantry. The Pope used to be crowned with a triregnum and sat on the papal throne. Pope Paul VI was the last to wear the triregnum, during his installation in 1963.
Our Mother Mary always wants to walk with us, be close, help us with her intercession and love. So I would like to pray together with you. Let us pray together for this new mission, for the whole church, for peace in the world, and let us ask Mary, our Mother, for this special grace.
Pope LEo XIV
