New Paperback Book and Booklet on Pope Leo XIV

Liguori Publications is releasing two new works on Pope Leo XIV—a booklet, 10 Things Pope Leo XIV Wants You to Know, set to begin shipping on June 2, 2025, followed by a paperback, Pope Leo XIV: Restless Heart, Faithful Shepherd, set to begin shipping on July 1, 2025.

A new era for the Church begins with Pope Leo XIV—Augustinian friar, missionary for distant lands, bishop among the poor, prefect entrusted with appointing pastors throughout the world, and now successor to Peter. To meet the demand for information about the new pope, Liguori Publications presents 10 Things Pope Leo XIV Wants You to Know, written by Sr. Gemma Morató Sendra, Dominican Sister of Charity of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin. The booklet is an abbreviated version of a forthcoming book, Pope Leo XIV: Restless Heart, Faithful Shepherd.

Sr. Morató Sendra states that Leo XIV has proven to be a tireless seeker of Truth. His vocation was born of that restlessness of heart to which Saint Augustine gave expression, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”

In that Augustinian spirit, Leo XIV has trusted the power of the gospel to shape his own style: humble yet firm, quiet yet courageous. His path has been marked by service, listening, and quiet fidelity—a shepherd who walks with seekers, unafraid of their questions, patient in accompaniment.

As the author explains, Leo XIV wants us to live the gospel more faithfully as he invites us to live a faith that is alive and open to the world.
