  1. "Pope Leo XIV's motto and coat of arms". vaticannews.va. May 10, 2025. Archived from the original on May 10, 2025. Retrieved May 12, 2025. Pope Leo XIV has also chosen a motto that reflects this Augustinian tradition: In Illo uno unum, which means "In the One, we are one". The phrase is taken from Saint Augustine's Exposition on Psalm 127, where he explains that "although we Christians are many, in the one Christ we are one".
