God Turns a Deaf Ear to Warmongers' Prayers, Declares Pope Leo XIV.
Pope Leo XIV's Address to the World
According to UATV: Speaking from St. Peter's Square in Vatican City on Palm Sunday, Pope Leo XIV issued a stark message to global leaders: divine attention is withheld from those who ignite armed conflicts. The pontiff stressed that religion must never serve as a justification for war. His remarks come at a critical juncture, as multiple crises continue to strain international stability.
A Plea for Peace
The Pope voiced deep concern over the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East and renewed his call for an immediate ceasefire.
“Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war; He rejects them,” Leo XIV stated, underscoring the centrality of peace in all religious observances.He added:
“This is our God: Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who repudiates war.”
Leo XIV's declaration highlights the influential role religious figures can play in shaping global conversations about peace and conflict. With tensions and violence escalating across several regions, such moral appeals may prove pivotal in swaying public opinion and prompting political action. The pontiff urged all religious and secular leaders to unite in pursuit of stability and violence reduction—a challenge that remains urgent for the international community.
