On the 50th anniversary of the Friuli earthquake, which killed some 1,000 people and left over 150,000 homeless, Pope Leo prays that "the memory of this tragic event" will inspire a "renewed commitment to the values of fraternity and charity.”
At the Regina Caeli prayer in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Leo says that faith “frees our hearts from the anxiety of having and achieving”, and calls on Christians to "reveal to all that fraternity and peace are our calling.”
Recalling the annual World Press Freedom Day celebrated on May 3rd, Pope Leo XIV remembers the many journalists and reporters who have become victims due to wars and violence.
