A forceful call for peace comes from Africa, addressed to Europe by Leo XIV, which has been scarred by the war in Ukraine, and to the Middle East, which remains crossed by tensions. At the closing of Mass in Kimbala, in front of nearly 100,000 people, the Pope dedicated the world's suffering to the Regina Caeli, appealing for a definitive end to hostilities, with a special mention for Lebanon. The Pope asked us not to overlook the grief of war-affected peoples, but to "embrace the cry of those who suffer", combining it with hope that survives even in the most terrible circumstances. This message brings together faith and responsibility, allowing the light of Easter to shine even in the midst of destruction and violence. There is significant concern for Ukraine, as attacks against civilians continue. The Pope extended his sympathy for the victims and repeated his call to lay down weapons and steadfastly pursue the path of dialogue. At the same time, a ray of optimism emerges from Lebanon, where a truce, however tenuous, represents a first step toward peace. The Pope encouraged diplomatic efforts to continue, expressing hope that the end of hostilities would last throughout the Middle East. His final invitation is to all: promote peace, justice, and hope every day, overcoming divisions and obstacles, and giving real expression to Easter principles.
