About this listen

The day after any papal election is a blur of prayer, protocol, and logistics. But it’s also the beginning of a delicate transition. Pope Leo the Fourteenth inherits not just the white cassock, but an intricate network of expectations—spiritual, political, and bureaucratic. So what comes next?

First, the ceremonial obligations. He will celebrate Mass in the Sistine Chapel with the cardinal electors who chose him. This is more than a tradition. It’s a public act of unity and a signal that the Church has moved from deliberation to direction.

Then on Sunday, the new pope will deliver the Regina Coeli prayer from a window overlooking Saint Peter’s Square. That weekly prayer—recited during the Easter season in place of the Angelus—will be his first chance to connect with the faithful in a more informal setting. It will also mark his first public remarks since his balcony address. Expect close attention to tone, language, and even which language he chooses to speak.
