Despite it being late August and with the Roman heat, this was the appearance of St. Peter's Square minutes before the Pope appeared on the balcony of the Apostolic Palace.
After reciting the Marian prayer, the Pope offered words of remembrance for the people of Mozambique, who are suffering from insecurity and violence.
POPE LEO XIV
As I appeal to you not to forget these brothers and sisters of ours, I invite you to pray for them and express my hope that the efforts of the country's leaders will succeed in restoring security and peace in that territory.
Finally, the Pope again addressed the Ukrainian population, calling for peace in the territory.
POPE LEO XIV
Today we join our Ukrainian brothers and sisters who, with the spiritual initiative “World Prayer for Ukraine,” ask the Lord to grant peace to their tormented country.
That day, the Pope sent a letter to Zelensky on the occasion of Ukraine's Independence Day.
