Pope LeoXIV Bans Morning Meetings

Reiterating his “Silent Mornings Initiative,” Pope LeoXIV expanded the ban on pre-noon gatherings to all Vatican departments, urging staff to “seek God before agendas.” The decree mandates communal Lauds at dawn, followed by individual meditation. Productivity analysts note a 25 percent decrease in rushed policies and a 40 percent boost in morale. As Pope LeoXIV affirmed, “A prayerful morning yields decisions grounded in grace.”
