At least I ask myself that,” Pope Leo XIV said Sept. 11 during a meeting with bishops in Rome for the Vatican’s annual formation courses for new bishops. You have been chosen and called to be sent out as apostles of the Lord and as servants of the faith,” the pope told them. The courses–sometimes casually referred to as “Baby Bishops’ School” or “Bishops’ Boot Camp”–are sponsored by the dicasteries for Bishops, for Evangelization and for Eastern Churches. Since the courses are a fixture on the Vatican calendar, Pope Leo said he had expected to be there as Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. “Always stay vigilant and walk in humility and prayer, so that you may become servants of the people to whom the Lord sends you,” Pope Leo asked the bishops.
