On behalf of our entire University Community

- academic authorities, professors, students, administrative staff, and collaborators - and on my own behalf, I wish to express our rejoicing at Your election and assure You of our prayers, that the Lord will grant You and renew to You daily His grace to lead and govern the Church at this time, marked by the need to build peace for all, a new synodality, communion with our brothers and sisters all, and respond to complex social and political challenges.

Holy Father, on behalf of all and on my own behalf, I assure you of our and my dedication in your service to the Lord and His Church.

Mark A. Lewis, S.J.
Rector of the Pontifical Gregorian University
