Pope Leo XIV delivers Easter message calling for peace in his first Easter as pope
Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first Easter Mass as pontiff on Sunday, delivering a message calling for global peace and urging those with weapons to lay them down. The first U.S.-born pope addressed conflicts without naming specific wars, departing from tradition of listing world's woes by name in the Urbi et Orbi blessing. He announced a prayer vigil for peace on April 11 and revived some papal traditions including greeting faithful in multiple languages.
