Pope Leo XIII complained of “no more war,” in a message about the world for the first Sunday speech in Vatican.
The new pope, reflecting the current conflict, demanded a “continuous peace” in the Ukrainian war that welcomed the ceasefire of the Gaza and a Saturday agreement to end the recent hostility between India and Pakistan.
He said that he was “deeply hurt” by the events of the Gaza. He expressed hope for the “continuous agreement” between India and Pakistan and wanted Ukraine’s “true, sincere and sustainable peace.”
He also recited Regina Kaeligido to St. Peter Square’s crowds to honor the Virgin Mary.
Pope Leo was selected as a new leader of the Catholic Church following the two -day conclusion of the Vatican City and his predecessor Francisco.
On Saturday, he visited the shrine outside Rome and prayed in front of the franchise tomb inside Santa Maria Maggiore.
Pope Leo will be officially inaugurated at Mass at St. Peter Square on May 18 next week.
He said on the balcony of the Vatican Sado Palace: “The huge tragedy of World War II ended 80 years ago, now we are facing the tragedy of World War III.
“I also want to deal with powerful people around the world and repeat the ‘no more war’, a call that is always a war.”
The Vatican continued to say:
“As much as possible, everything possible to reach true and sustained peace. All prisoners can be released. Children can return to their families.
“And I was deeply wounded by what happened on Gaza Earth.
“I hope the ceasefire will enter into force immediately, humanitarian aid is allowed to be civilians and all hostages can be liberated.
“On the other hand, I was happy to hear that there was a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope we will soon continue through the upcoming negotiations.”
Before speaking with Cardinals on Saturday, it was a busy week for the Pope who held the first mass as a pope at Sis Tina Chapel on Friday.
At this meeting, he described himself as an unbearable choice to the pope and vowed to continue his predecessor’s “valuable legacy.”
He emphasized the importance of missionary projects and discussions and cared for people who were called “minimal and rejected.”
He explained that he chose the name Leo after the 19th century, known as his teaching of social justice.
The new Pope also proposed the development of artificial intelligence, and other developments meant that the church is needed to defend human dignity and justice today.
He will hold the audience with the media on Monday before he takes office next Sunday.
As part of the mass, he will deliver it at home in many countries and high -ranking people.
69 years old, he is the 267th resident of St. Peter’s throne, and the first American became a pope. He will lead 1.4 billion people to the global community of the Catholic Church.
Born in Chicago, he was born as a Robert Francis Prevost and worked as a missionary in Peru for many years. He also has a Peruvian nationality.
Leo was born in the United States, but the Vatican described him as the second pope of America. The first Pope Francis from Argentina was the first.
Pope Leo is widely known as a moderate person who can provide “continuity” and “Unity” last month.
The new pope is considered to share the franchise’s views on immigrants, poor and environments.
In his first speech, he told the crowds, “I told the crowd who wanted to walk with you to the Allied Church to gather everything together for peace and justice.”
