In recent days, a humanitarian operation has been carried out to assist the civilian population in the city of Oleshky. I hope that the cooperation between the parties, which made this necessary humanitarian act possible, will strengthen the desire for dialogue and lead to new concrete peace initiatives. Let us entrust to Mary, Queen of Peace and of All Saints, all those throughout the world who are suffering because of war.

[Abp. José H. Gomez @ArchbishopGomez]

What a joy to have an audience with our Holy Father and present him with my new pastoral letter on Our Lady of Guadalupe. Let us keep Pope Leo XIV close in our prayers. As the saints say: All with Peter to Jesus through Mary!

Thanking CLINIC for its work, Pope Leo called on participants to overcome the indifference that "reduces the human person to a statistic" and recognize migrants and refugees as "Christ visiting us in disguise."

@NwkArchdiocese I join my prayers to those of the whole Church in the U.S. for Cardinal Tobin’s full recovery. He is a great gift to the Church in our country!

The journey begun in #Assisi as a shared quest for #peace is, first and foremost, the path of prayer. Prayer may seem weak in the face of the powers of the world, but it is the humble strength of believers. Let us turn to God, the giver of peace, that He may touch the hearts of those who seek war and terrorism. Let us not forget that prayer is never in vain! https://t.co/oBAbkNq8OE

Pope Leo: "War can never be waged in the name of God. For us believers, to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself. There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy." https://t.co/T9wmnR5xl2

Speaking of the importance of keeping the human person at the center of arguments regarding nuclear weapons, a forum in Assisi brings together a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, a Catholic archbishop of Nagasaki, and a representative of an organization that received the Nobel Peace Prize.

I am looking forward to returning to the continent where I’ve experienced so many moments of my life. May this journey be an occasion for us to open our hearts to one another, strengthen our communion as brothers and sisters, and renew our commitment to proclaiming the Gospel with joy.  #Uruguay #Argentina #Peru

[Papa León XIV @Pontifex_es]

Seguimos rezando juntos por la paz. Pasado mañana, 27 de octubre, unámonos espiritualmente a los representantes de las Iglesias y a los líderes religiosos que se reunirán en Asís en el 40 aniversario del Encuentro convocado por san Juan Pablo II. Hoy más que nunca es evidente que las guerras, además de sembrar muerte y destrucción, empobrecen y dañan al mundo. ¡Que el Señor inspire decisiones de diálogo y de paz! #OremosJuntos

@bpdflores This is one of the most profoundly insightful and timely pieces I have had the pleasure to read in a long time.

"The great question before us,"asks the bishop of Phoenix, "is not whether a machine will someday learn to say, 'I think, therefore I am.' It is whether we will remember who we are." https://t.co/Vjc3109CCU

Milwaukee’s Archbishop Grob: “I feel a heavy sadness, not only over the pain I caused, but also for the fact that something so sacred to a group of religious leaders, prayer to our Heavenly Father, would be manipulated in that way. We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president, not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House. I did not go without reservations. I wish I had heeded them. Please know that I have heard these concerns, understand how I caused them, and I apologize for any damage my actions have done.” https://t.co/eFlvc62CGX

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Let us continue to pray together for peace. The day after tomorrow, on 27 October, let us join in spirit with the heads of churches and religious leaders who will gather in Assisi to mark the 40th anniversary of the meeting convened by Saint John Paul II. Never before has it been so clear that wars, as well as sowing death and destruction, impoverish and harm the world. May the Lord inspire choices of dialogue and peace! #PrayTogether

"This is really about two things — accompaniment and solidarity. All of us are here spiritually accompanying those who cannot make this journey because of fear ... We are walking together for the dignity of all migrants and for human dignity."

“Beneath the armor that so many teenagers build around themselves to avoid suffering lies the desire to love and be loved,” Pope Leo XIV said on October 22 to participants in the International Congress for Pastoral Care in Schools and Universities, taking place at the Vatican.

In his address he urged those present to encourage young people and help them “become protagonists of a new way of inhabiting the world, builders of fraternity and of a more just society.”

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

My dear young friends, today, as registration opens for next year’s #WorldYouthDay, I warmly invite each of you to #Seoul. This is a call to set out on a pilgrimage of faith, friendship and hope. The Lord is waiting for you in this place of encounter and communion. He calls each of you by name, and He desires to reawaken your hope and to give you the fullness of life and joy.
