“I was chosen, without any merit of my own, and now, with fear and trembling, I come to you as a brother, who desires to be the servant of your faith and your joy, walking with you on the path of God’s love, for he wants us all to be united in one family.” With these words, Pope Leo XIV announced the approach of his Pontificate as a program filled with service, love, and fraternity, during the Mass marking the beginning of his Petrine Ministry on Sunday.
"One family," the Supreme Pontiff emphasized, fully aware of the extent of the suffering of the human family today as a result of wars, conflicts, and crises, which he denounced in his meeting with the Representatives of Churches, other Christian Denominations, and Representatives of other Religions. Between "no" and "yes," the Missionary Bishop and Grandson of Migrants called for the need to be free from all ideological or political conditioning.
“No” to war and “yes” to peace, “no” to the arms race and “yes’” to disarmament, “no” to an economy that impoverishes peoples and the Earth and “yes” to integral development. This is what the Pope said to his guests, stressing that the witness of fraternity will inevitably contribute to building a more peaceful world.
While peace has become a dream for many people suffering from woes and tragedies, Christian and human unity has become essential to overcome life's difficulties and challenges. Is there anyone who truly understands the importance and gravity of this issue? This is a question we pose to the concerned world leaders and decision-makers!
