The purpose of this study is to show that in the person of Pope Francis there are rays of hope for the world, humanity, and Christianity. The hypothesis is that Pope Francis is providing an inspiring and timely leadership not only for Roman Catholic Church but also for the whole world to shape the future in the new normalcy. More than ever, in the new normal situation, the world and believers are looking forward to an able guidance from their leaders. Hence, it is necessary to identify the essential qualities of a leader in the time of crisis. Pope Francis' leadership is assuring hope to face the new normalcy and inspiring other leaders also to commit themselves for the betterment of whole human race. The paper will first briefly deal with the concept of 'new normal' and continue to examine Pope Francis' leadership dimensions during the major global events that forced the world to gradually sink into new normal situation.
