Shafaqna English- Pope Leo XIV appeals for peace in war-torn parts of the world.
At the conclusion of the Mass of Inauguration of his pontificate on Sunday (18 may 2025), Pope prayed the Regina Caeli and appealed for people suffering due to war.
He thanked the 200,000 people and numerous delegations attending the Eucharist, expressing his gratitude to the representatives of nations, Churches, and various religions.
“In the joy of faith and communion, we cannot forget our brothers and sisters who are suffering because of war,” said Pope Leo.
He recalled that “the surviving children, families, and elderly” in Gaza have been reduced to starvation, as the Israeli war continues. In Myanmar, noted the Pope, “new hostilities have cut short innocent young lives.”
