Pope Leo XIV: The Middle East region needs peace

During Wednesday's General Audience, Pope Leo XIV recalled the terrorist attack on the Mar Elias church in Damascus, Syria, three days ago. He entrusted the victims to God's mercy and offered his continued prayers for those who were injured and their families.

Addressing all Christians in the Middle East, the Pope expressed his solidarity with them.

"I am close to you and the entire Church is with you. This latest attack highlights the deep fragility that Syria continues to experience after years of instability and violence," the Pope said.

Pope Leo called on the international community not to turn its eyes away from this country. On the contrary, he continued, it must offer support through acts of solidarity and a renewed commitment to peace and reconciliation.

The Pope once again called for an end to violence in the region and reiterated the need for peace, referring to the words of the prophet Isaiah: "Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore." /CNA
