Pope Leo
“Jesus wants us to touch human misery, to touch the suffering flesh of others,” said Leo XIV in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.
During the homily, the Pope left some questions about the most vulnerable: “How can we not think about the tents in Gaza, exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold, and those of so many other internally displaced people and refugees on all continents, or the improvised shelters of thousands of homeless people in our cities?”
“Only when the fragility of others hurts our hearts, when the pain of others destroys our unshakable certainties, does peace begin”, he added.
