Pope Leo XIV has expressed profound sorrow over a deadly Israeli strike on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, calling for an immediate end to the war’s barbarity and a renewed global commitment to peace.
In a moving Angelus address delivered in Piazza della Libertà, Pope Leo XIV urged the faithful to rediscover the path to eternal life through a life of love, service, and compassion.
In a quiet yet powerful liturgy surrounded by the natural beauty of Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV celebrated a private Mass at the Borgo Laudato Si’, on July 9, inaugurating the Church’s new liturgical formulary “For the Care of Creation.”
Pope Leo XIV’s arrival in Castel Gandolfo on Sunday, July 6, marked more than the start of a summer retreat, it became a heartfelt encounter between a missionary Pope and the faithful who see in him a living witness of Christ.
