What happens when white smoke rises over St. Peter’s Square? The election of a new Pope is more than a historic event—it’s an invitation for Catholics to get to know the new Holy Father, and rediscover the heart of the papacy: its biblical foundations, its spiritual authority, the hope it brings the faithful, and our shared responsibility to pray for the pope as our universal pastor.

As members of the Ascension team watched the white smoke rise from the Sistine Chapel chimney, we excitedly awaited the announcement of who our new pope would be. When Cardinal Mamberti stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica and proclaimed the name of the man chosen by the College of Cardinals, we were stunned, like most of the world, to learn that an American had been elected to the Chair of Peter. Even before Cardinal Robert Prevost stepped onto the balcony as Pope Leo XIV, the world immediately began asking questions: What will his pontificate bring? Will he be a "liberal" or "conservative" pope? Will he follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis or lead the Church in a different direction? What factors led the cardinals to elect him? How will his background as an American and a missionary in Peru shape his papacy? In the hours and days that followed, every news platform and media outlet offered a flood of analysis, speculation, and opinions about the Church's new leader. Amid this storm of content surrounding our new pope, where could ordinary Catholics find thoughtful, faithful guidance on how to respond to the new Holy Father with hearts humble and open to his spiritual leadership? It is this question that led us to publish a book so early in Pope Leo XIV's papacy.
