‘Abandon the Path of Enmity and Embrace Reconciliation’; Pope Leo XIV Issues Global Call for Peace.

Vatican City: Delivering his Easter message to the faithful worldwide, Pope Leo XIV has urged the global community to abandon the path of enmity and instead embrace reconciliation and peace. The Pope’s address took place during the Easter celebrations at St. Peter’s Basilica, where he emphasized the need for global harmony.

Pope Leo XIV pointed out that factors such as mistrust, fear, selfishness, and anger continue to isolate nations and individuals through war and injustice. He called on people to resist despair and allow the “Easter gifts” of unity and peace to flourish across the globe. He urged the world not to grow weary but to move forward with hope.

The Pontiff remarked that while humans may have the power to destroy the physical body, the life of God, which is rooted in love, is an eternal life that triumphs over death and cannot be imprisoned. Although he did not explicitly name current specific conflicts, he stated that God responds to the gravity of divisive and destructive sins with the power of love, which has the capacity to restore lives. He concluded by affirming that the power of divine love is stronger than any evil. (WN)
