The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.

This is the hour for love! The heart of the Gospel is the love of God that makes us brothers and sisters. With my predecessor Leo XIII, we can ask ourselves today: If this criterion “were to prevail in the world, would not every conflict cease and peace return?” (Rerum Novarum)

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Peter is called to serve the faith of his brothers and sisters, walking alongside them. I would like our first great desire to be for a united Church, a sign of unity and communion, which becomes a leaven for a reconciled world. https://t.co/iCAdvLbiAC

If we Christians and members of other religious traditions stand together, free from ideological and political conditioning, we can be effective in saying “no” to war and “yes” to peace, “no” to an economy that impoverishes people and the Earth and “yes” to integral development.

The Holy See is willing to help enemies meet, so they may look each other in the eye and so people may be given back the dignity they deserve: the dignity of peace. With heart in hand, I say to the leaders of nations: let us meet; let us dialogue; let us negotiate!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

War is never inevitable. Weapons can and must fall silent, for they never solve problems but only intensify them. Those who sow peace will endure throughout history, not those who reap victims. Others are not enemies to hate but human beings with whom to speak.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Peace be with you all! This is the first greeting spoken by the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd. I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, and among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world.

BREAKING:

Pope Leo XIV calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

[Funmi Olofinlade @funmitwits]

Isn’t this an act reserved for the congress or am I tripping.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

BREAKING: Trump “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus — which would allow government to arrest, exile, detain, and even kill ANY of us.

With NO trial, NO lawyer, NO judge ever hearing from you.

It would be the death of freedom in America.

Pope Leo XIV appeals for peace in Gaza and Ukraine, and between India and Pakistan.

"I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. Let everything possible be done to achieve an authentic, just and lasting peace as soon as possible. May all the prisoners be freed and may the children return to their families.

I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip. Cease fire immediately! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the exhausted civilian population and let all hostages be freed.

On the other hand, I am pleased by the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the forthcoming negotiations a lasting agreement will soon be reached."
