I wish to express my solidarity with our Venezuelan brothers and sisters affected by the recent earthquakes, which have caused numerous deaths and injuries, as well as extensive damage to property. Praying to the Lord for the eternal rest of the deceased, I renew my spiritual solidarity with their families, the injured, and all who have been shaken by this tragedy. I also wish to express my gratitude and encouragement to those generously working on search and rescue efforts and providing assistance.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

Friends, I recently joined His Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael Symeonides at the Ss. Kosmas and Damianos Greek Orthodox Church in Rochester, Minnesota, to commemorate the Council of Nicaea’s 1700th anniversary.

I invite you to watch my lecture on the Nicene Creed.

I express my profound closeness to the Palestinian people in Gaza, who continue to live in fear and to survive in unacceptable conditions, forced once again from their own lands. Before Almighty God, who commanded “Thou shalt not kill,” and throughout human history, every person always has an inviolable dignity, to be respected and upheld. I renew my appeal for a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a negotiated diplomatic solution, in full respect of international humanitarian law. I invite everyone to join my heartfelt prayer that a dawn of peace and justice may soon arise.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In a world where ingratitude and the thirst for power often prevail and the logic of exclusion seems to dominate, we are called to bear witness to the gratitude and generosity of Christ, to exultation and joy, and the tenderness and mercy of His Heart.

I encourage you to contemplate with hope every time Jesus stopped beside us when we had fallen in the street. Let us ask Him to give us a merciful heart, so that we may show others the same compassion He has shown us. #GeneralAudience

[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]

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]

Christ's peace is not the silence of the tomb after a conflict, and it is not the result of subjugation. Peace is a gift that gazes at others and renews their lives. Let us pray for this peace, which is reconciliation, forgiveness, and courage to turn the page and start again.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

There is so much violence and so many wars in our world! Amid this horror that should provoke outrage—as people die in the name of military conquest—stands the call of Christ, who repeats: ‘Peace be with you!’

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The ancient, yet ever new spiritualities of the Christian East offer a healing balm. They merge an awareness of human misery with awe for divine mercy, so that our lowliness never leads to despair but invites us to welcome grace.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Over a century ago, Pope Leo XIII noted that "the preservation of the Eastern rites is more important than is realized." Let us embrace the appeal to safeguard and promote the Christian East, especially in the diaspora. https://t.co/9uiYDTismI

[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.
