Pope Leo in Lampedusa: "Today I am here to tell you that the Pope continues to walk with you, to support you, and to encourage you. We have gathered here to draw from Christ the love that only He can give us, so that the world of today and tomorrow may be more human—more human for everyone."

“The sea has claimed the lives of others — those who did not manage to reach their hoped-for destination. Yet we feel their presence, which challenges us no less than that of those who have landed in need of attention and aid. Indeed, before any intellectual consideration or ideological conviction, the encounter with those who lie before us, stripped of everything, calls us to be close to them.”


“It is time to recognize and affirm that religious affiliation must never become a reason for discrimination, as if faith had boundaries rather than being a universal call to salvation. Where there were walls of separation, Christ broke them down. There is no love of God without love of neighbor, and there is no neighbor if I do not draw near.”

Pope Leo in Lampedusa: “Indifference to the common good and corruption in migrants countries of origin; a global economic system that generates poverty and exclusion; fear that fuels prejudice and contempt; the belief that such problems do not concern us — all are present-day echoes of the haste to ‘pass by.’” http://vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en...usa-messa.html

Vatican expresses serious concerns over Israel-Lebanon framework implementation
——
Following a private audience between Pope Leo XIV and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the Vatican, the Holy See voiced serious concerns regarding ongoing difficulties in implementing the US-brokered agreement between Israel and Lebanon.

During the thirty-minute meeting, President Aoun urged the pontiff to support Beirut's push for a complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from southern Lebanon.

Despite the established framework of the deal, Israeli strikes continue to impact civilians while heavy demolition operations targeting residential homes persist across a strip of territory stretching roughly ten kilometers deep inside the Lebanese border.

In an official statement, the Vatican welcomed the initial signing of the document while pledging its active support for diplomatic efforts to resolve implementation hurdles, following discussions with high-ranking officials including Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Paul Richard Gallagher.

Pope Leo at conclusion of Angelus address: “Two days ago marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks in the United States of America. I renew my prayers for those who lost their lives and for those who continue to bear the wounds of that tragic day. At a time when conflict and violence afflict so many of our brothers and sisters, I invite everyone to pray that the Lord will bestow his gift of peace upon the world. The memory of the tragic event that took place twenty-five years ago prompts us to renew our commitment to peace, first and foremost through prayer, which we entrust to the intercession of the Virgin Mary.”
