ROME – In his first Sunday Regina Coeli address during Easter, Pope Leo XIV gave pilgrims a surprise and sang the traditional Marian prayer, and prayed for increased vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.

Speaking to pilgrims from the central loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica, Leo noted that his Sunday, May 11 address coincided with Good Shepherd Sunday, saying it was “a gift” that his service as pope began on that day.
