Pope's Prayer for Peace

Pope Leo XIV prayed for a just and lasting peace that respects all people with the start of the first phase of a peace deal between Israel and Gaza.

We ask God, who is the true peace of humanity, to heal all wounds and to help us with his grace to accomplish what now seems humanly impossible: to remember that the other is not an enemy, but a brother or sister to be seen, forgiven and offered the hope of reconciliation.

The pope highlighted the new peace deal after Mass in St. Peter’s Square, saying the agreement has given a spark of hope in the Holy Land.
