The leader of the Catholic world, Pope Leo XIV, has invited believers to gather at St. Peter's Square on Saturday, April 11, for a sacred purpose. The Pope hopes that this major event will be an important step toward peace in a world experiencing wars, hatred, and indifference.
In the call made by Pope Leo XIV, attention was drawn to the sense of hopelessness faced by humanity with the words, "Let us not feel powerless in the face of evil." The Pope stated that peace is not limited to the silencing of weapons, but that what is truly important is the profound change that must take place in the human heart.
With the prayer chain to be organized, the goal is for people's hearts around the world to beat for peace at the same time. While inviting people from all countries and societies to unite in their prayers, the Pope called on people to abandon the desire for dominance and to come together for true peace.
Emphasizing that the element that makes peace possible is "accepting the peace of Christ," Pope Leo XIV stated that they are taking refuge in God for societies under oppression and everyone harmed by wars. He expressed his belief that prayers and collective determination would constitute a fundamental step in achieving peace.
This historic invitation from the Pope is expected to focus the attention of the international community on peace and humanitarian solidarity. The event on April 11, in the heart of the Vatican, carries the quality of being a symbolic turning point on the path to peace.
