'No more war' says Pope Leo XIV in first Sunday message

레오 14세 교황, 첫 부활 삼종기도서 "전쟁 이제 그만" Starting in Rome, Pope Leo XIV delivered his inaugural Sunday address in St. Peter's Square, making a powerful plea for global peace, urging for an end to conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. "As Pope Francis has repeatedly stated, I too appeal to the great ones of the world, repeating the ever-relevant plea: No more war!'' On May 11, Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, stood on the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to deliver his first Sunday blessing in front of a crowd of approximately 100,000. He chose this position over the usual Apostolic Palace window, departing from tradition to symbolize a new approach. In his address, Pope Leo XIV echoed the words of his predecessor, Pope Francis, by urging "No more war." He expressed deep concern over the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, describing the global situation as a "Third World War being fought piecemeal." While calling for lasting peace in Ukraine and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the pontiff also acknowledged the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan. #Vatican #No_more_war #Pope_Leo_XIV #Sunday_message #레오14세 #교황 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Twitter :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Homepage : https://arirang.com/ 2025-05-12, 10:00 (KST)
