Holy smokes! I’m beside myself with joy. I’m beside myself with excitement. I’m bursting with hope. Yes, I am.

Yes, it’s Mother’s Day (and I gotta admit, I love Mother’s Day), but the real reason I’m beside myself is because we, and I mean the big collective we—you, me, all of us—have a new pope: Pope Leo XIV. And an American one at that! For the first time in history!

Think about that, my friends. We are living right in the middle of a historic event. Let’s take it in. Let’s absorb the moment. It’s significant in so many ways, and it’s perfect timing.
