A white man wearing robes raises his left hand. To the right, white text says, "To all who sent prayers, love, and hope as I begin this sacred journey — thank you. I accept this role not as a throne, but as a vow: To serve the forgotten, To uplift the broken, To speak plainly where others stay silent.

Be woke. — Pope Leo XIV"
