Pope Leo XIV Says Jesus Cannot Be Used to Justify War
During his Palm Sunday Mass at St. Peter’s Square, he stated, “Jesus is the King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war.” He further explained that Jesus “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.”
The pope urged people to “Lay down your weapons! Remember that you are brothers and sisters!” and offered prayers for victims of violence.
He also prayed, “Holy Mary, woman of the third day, grant us the certainty that, in spite of all, death will no longer hold sway over us; that the injustices of peoples are numbered; that the flashes of war are fading into the twilight; that the sufferings of the poor are breathing their last.”
