Pope Leo: “Let the war finally end”
Pope Leo XIV has urged US President Donald Trump and “all world leaders” to barter peace. “I was told that President Trump wanted to end the war,” he stated on Tuesday night in Castel Gandolfo. “Hopefully he will look for a way to reduce the violence and bombings, which would go a long way toward eliminating the hatred that is being fomented and increasing in the Middle East and elsewhere,” he stated.
“Return to the negotiating table for dialogue,” he appealed to political leaders. They ought to search for options to the issues and promote peace. This is especially essential with a view to the upcoming Easter, stated Leo XIV in response to questions from journalists earlier than returning to Rome from his break day within the Alban mountains.
“We are in Holy Week. Easter is just around the corner, it should be the holiest time of the year, a time of peace and reflection,” stated the church chief. “But as we all know, we are once again experiencing so much suffering in many places around the world, so many deaths, including innocent children.” He frequently appeals for peace, however sadly many individuals need to fire up hatred, violence and warfare.
“Therefore, this evening I renew my appeal and invite everyone to live these days knowing that even today Christ is crucified and suffers in the innocent.” A ceasefire at Easter is fascinating, “but let the war finally end,” stated Pope Leo XIV.
