Pope Leo Urges Global Leaders to Pursue Just and Lasting Peace
————————————
In his weekly address at the Vatican, Pope Leo called on world leaders to commit to sincere efforts toward establishing just and sustainable peace, emphasizing their responsibility to end ongoing wars and alleviate human suffering.

According to The Guardian, the Pope stressed that divine wisdom should guide the conscience of those in power, ensuring that their decisions promote long-term peace rather than prolonging conflict.

He highlighted that during the past month, the Church held widespread prayers for global peace, including collective recitations of the Holy Rosary, focused on ending wars and supporting victims of violence. These prayers, he said, serve as a global call for peace.

Pope Leo XIV has consistently advocated for reducing international tensions and resolving conflicts, and his recent statements have received extensive coverage in international media, reinforcing the importance of global peace in both religious and political discourse.
