""Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!""
""...to the deaths of thousands of people ... to the repercussions of hatred and division that conflicts sow ... to the economic and social consequences they produce.""
Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first Easter Mass, urging the abandonment of weapons and the pursuit of peace through dialogue. He emphasized the message of hope from Jesus' resurrection, encouraging hearts to be transformed by love. While acknowledging global conflicts, he refrained from naming specific wars in his Urbi et Orbi blessing, a departure from tradition. Leo highlighted the indifference to the suffering caused by conflicts and called for a collective effort to choose peace over violence.
