EWTN was granted an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into Italy’s oldest painting restoration laboratory, where the mission goes far beyond material repairs. Paolo Violini, head of the Painting and Wooden Material Restoration Laboratory, describes the work as both physical and immaterial—recovering not only the form of sacred art but also its meaning and significance:

At the global gathering near Rome, held every two years, the Holy Father expressed his gratitude, saying their work is a ministry of liberation and of consolation. He also urged prayer for those possessed by 'the Evil One', and encouraged turning to Christ for help, so that the Lord may grant victory. The gathering featured around 300 exorcist priests.

The Bishop of Monterey, California, terminates the Latin Mass in his diocese. It was one of Bishop Daniel Garcia’s final acts before leaving for the Diocese of Austin, Texas. He says he made the move to, “strengthen our unity with the universal Church.” He also feared that the pastor for the Latin Mass community was not able to give his full attention to the entire parish. The final Latin Mass is set for October 13th.

Pope Leo reminds the faithful that death is never the last word. During his weekly talk, the Holy Father reflected on Christ’s descent into the underworld on Holy Saturday. Pope Leo said Jesus brought light to the darkest places and showed that no sinner is beyond redemption. Pope Leo stated in part, "There is no past so ruined, no history so compromised that it cannot be touched by mercy." At the end of the audience, the Holy Father urged the faithful to pray the Rosary daily throughout the month of October for peace around the world. He also invited Vatican employees to pray the Rosary in Saint Peter’s Square each night.

On the Feast of Saint Padre Pio—one of the most beloved saints of the 20th century, especially in his native Italy—he is remembered for hearing confessions for 12 to 15 hours at a time, his patience, and his ability to perform miracles. He also received mystical yet real wounds known as the stigmata, or the wounds of Christ. Dr. Paul Kengor, author of The Stigmatists, joins us to explain more about the wounds Padre Pio bore:

September 22 marks the feast of Saint Thomas of Villanova. Thomas was born in Spain in the 15th century. He joined the Augustinians and became prior and provincial. He was then made Archbishop of Valencia — a position he accepted reluctantly. As bishop, he would give meals, wine, and money to hundreds of poor people who showed up at his door every morning. Today, one of his relics is in the pectoral cross worn by Pope Leo XIV — also an Augustinian.

St. Thomas of Villanova, pray for us!

The Vatican has concluded its 25th major Jubilee event—the Jubilee of Justice—bringing together thousands of legal professionals from across the globe. Pope Leo, who holds a doctorate in Canon Law, emphasized that the pursuit of true justice is a "demanding task, but not impossible" for those who are committed. Legal professionals from nearly 100 countries reflected on how they can better uphold human dignity—by caring for the sick and vulnerable, supporting people in need, and looking out for those in prison. Pope Leo stated, "As we know, justice becomes concrete when it reaches out to others, when each person is given their due, until equality in dignity and opportunity among human beings is achieved." After days of prayer, fellowship, and meaningful dialogue, participants expressed a renewed commitment to letting their faith shape every aspect of their legal work.
