"Ai daqueles que manipulam a religião e o próprio nome de Deus para seu próprio ganho militar, econômico e político, arrastando o que é sagrado para as trevas e a sujeira." #ApostolicJourney
Pope Leo XIV... Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

We are one family, inhabiting the same home: this wonderful planet that ancient cultures have cared for over millennia. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon 2/2

We are all our brother's and sister's keeper. In God’s great family, no one is ever a stranger or forgotten, no matter how little they may be. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon
It is also the only way to combat the scourges of drugs, prostitution, and apathy, which devastate too many young lives in an increasingly dramatic way. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon 2/2
#Peace is everyone’s responsibility, beginning with civil authorities. To govern means to love one’s own country as well as neighboring countries. The commandment “love your neighbor as yourself” is equally applicable to international relations! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon
I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon 2/2
Can we truly start our lives over again? Yes! The Lord’s response, so full of love, fills our hearts with hope. No matter how weighed down we are by pain or sin: the crucified One carries all these burdens with us and for us. #ApostolicJourney 1/2
God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria 2/2
God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria 1/2
In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign. #ApostolicJourney 2/2
Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in #Algeria, the maternal love of Lalla Meryem gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. #ApostolicJourney 1/2
We need one another, and we need God. When we acknowledge our fragility, our hearts become open to supporting one another and to invoking the One who can grant what no human power can ensure: the profound reconciliation of hearts and, with it, true #Peace. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria
Let us free these tremendous reservoirs of history and the future from evil! Let us denounce and remove causes for despair, and let us oppose those who profit from the misfortune of others! #ApostolicJourney #Algeria 2/2
The sea and the desert have been places of mutual enrichment among peoples and cultures for millennia. Woe to us if we turn them into graveyards where even hope dies! #ApostolicJourney #Algeria 1/2
The future belongs to men and women of peace. Justice will always triumph over injustice in the end, just as violence will never have the last word, despite all appearances. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

#Peace is not merely a balance of power. It is the work of purified hearts, of those who see others as brothers and sisters to be protected, not enemies to be defeated. #ApostolicJourney 2/2
The wars that stain the present moment with blood are the fruit of the idolatry of power and money. Let us not grow accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war! #ApostolicJourney 1/2
We need to pray and find time for moments of silence and reflection, in order to quiet the frenzy of doing and saying, of messages, reels and chats, and to delve deeper into and savor the beauty of truly and genuinely being together with God and one another. #ApostolicJourney
Make everything a gift to God and live everything as a mission that calls you to be friends in Christ and faithful companions for one another on the journey. #ApostolicJourney 2/2
Incorporate the Gospel into the choices you make at work and in your social and political commitments, in order to give a voice to the voiceless, thereby spreading a culture of care. #ApostolicJourney 1/2
In the Bible, it is the little ones who make history! Even when a sense of powerlessness or inadequacy prevails, we need to trust in God’s providence, for we believe that the Kingdom of God is like a tiny seed that grows into a great tree (cf. Mt 13:31–32). #ApostolicJourney #Monaco
Let us hope to involve the entire Middle East in this spirit of fraternity and commitment to peace, including those who currently consider themselves enemies. May God bless #Lebanon, the Middle East, and all humanity! #ApostolicJourney 2/2
Let us cast off the armor of our ethnic and political divisions, open our religious confessions to mutual encounter, and reawaken in our hearts the dream of a united Lebanon, where peace and justice reign, where all recognize each other as brothers and sisters. #ApostolicJourney
I was deeply moved by my brief visit to the Port of Beirut, where an explosion devastated not just the area, but many human lives. I prayed for all the victims, and I carry with me the pain and thirst for truth and justice of so many families, of an entire country. #ApostolicJourney #Lebanon
The coming of the Messiah was announced in the smallness of a shoot, because He can only be recognized by the little ones, by those who humbly know how to recognize the hidden details and traces of God in a seemingly lost story. #ApostolicJourney #Lebanon
Draw from the good roots of those dedicated to serving society. Be the source of hope that the country is waiting for! #ApostolicJourney 3/3
