Italy Pope

Pope Leo XIV has unveiled a fresco at the sanctuary where he prayed just after his election last year. During a visit Monday to the Our Mother of Good Counsel sanctuary, Leo unveiled a permanent sign of his devotion to the place. The fresco depicting him praying now adorns an upper cornice of the basilica. Leo displayed the portrait before celebrating Mass with his fellow Augustinian brothers at the Sanctuary in the medieval village of Genazzano south of Rome. It's a place that has special meaning to his Augustinian religious order and to Leo himself.
