A Blessing for People of Good Will

Written and read by Msgr. Arthur A. Holquin, author of The Right Pope at the Right Time.

Blessings to all who share the vision of Pope Leo XIV for a world that honors the dignity of every human person, in the workplace and the marketplace, in the halls of power and the quiet corners of the forgotten.

Blessings to all who labor for peace over plunder, for solidarity over division, for a common home cared for rather than consumed.

Blessings to all who believe that even in an age of extraordinary technological power, the human person, made in love, called to love, remains irreplaceable.

Blessings to all who dare to hope that leadership can still mean service, that authority can still mean humility, and that the right voice can rise at the right time.

May you find companions for the journey, courage for the struggle, and peace along the way.

About this recording: Msgr. Holquin wrote this blessing in August 2026. Because he is no longer able to record, his voice was reconstructed from archival material provided by the Diocese of Orange, and he approved the result. The words and the voice are his own.
