The newly elected Pope Leo XIV has made a significant statement in his first Sunday address at the Vatican, calling for peace in Ukraine, a ceasefire in Gaza Strip, and the release of all Israeli hostages held by Hamas. He emphasized the need for "authentic and lasting peace" in Ukraine and welcomed the fragile truce between India and Pakistan.

    1. I welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations we can soon reach a lasting agreement.
    2. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people.
    3. I, too, address the world's great powers by repeating the ever-present call, 'never again war'.
    4. Let us take up this precious legacy and continue on the journey, inspired by the same hope that is born of faith.
    5. In our own day, the Church offers the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for human dignity, justice and labour.
