About this sermon
Pope Leo XIV is sending a heartfelt video message to Saturday’s special Mass at the home of the Chicago White Sox. Although he will be absent this weekend, the Holy Father has visited Guaranteed Rate Field many times, including Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. Among those in attendance that historic night was Father Robert Prevost—now Pope Leo XIV—alongside longtime friend Ed Schmit and his then 5-year-old grandson, Eddie Schmit. Now 25, Eddie joins to reflect on that unforgettable night, his family’s connection to the future pope, and the recent honor of having their World Series seats designated as a stadium landmark. From cherished memories at the ballpark to the remarkable journey of a family friend becoming pope, Eddie shares his personal perspective on the man now known as Pope Leo XIV. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
