Earlier, Pope Leo has expressed deep concern over the situation in war-affected regions, particularly in the Middle East.
“We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many defenseless people who are victims of these conflicts,” said the Pope during his Angelus address last March 22.
“What hurts them hurts all of humanity. The death and pain caused by these wars is a scandal for the entire human family and a cry that rises to God.”
Closing his message, Pope Leo has called for continued prayers and peacebuilding efforts. He has emphasised the importance of “sincere dialogue and respect for the dignity of every human person.”
