"Pope Francis Empowers New Cardinals with Spiritual Mottos and Unity in Diversity"

The new cardinals receiving the red hat at the consistory on Saturday have chosen spiritual mottos that reflect their priorities and spirituality. From "Power in weakness" to "For the greater glory of God," each cardinal's motto offers insight into their beliefs. The mottos range from biblical verses to phrases in different languages. The coat of arms of each cardinal also holds symbolic meaning, representing their personal backgrounds and values. These new cardinals will be eligible to vote in a conclave to elect the next pope.
