Vatican City, Jun 22, 2025 \/ 08:22 am (CNA).<\/p>\n

Reacting to what he called the \u201calarming news\u201d of U.S. airstrikes on nuclear facilities in Iran, Pope Leo XIV on Sunday pleaded with the international community \u201cto stop the tragedy of war before it becomes an irreparable abyss.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday more than ever, humanity cries out and pleads for peace,\u201d the pope said, in remarks following his Angelus reflection June 22, adding that the cry \u201cmust not be drowned out by the roar of weapons or by rhetoric that incites conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday night that the U.S. had \u201cobliterated\u201d Iran\u2019s main nuclear sites massive bunker busting bombs. Iran responded by launching a volley of missiles at Israel. Scores of civilians were wounded in a missile strike in Tel Aviv, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

Speaking to pilgrims gathered in St. Peter\u2019s Square from a window in the Apostolic Palace, Leo framed the attacks, which have escalated the conflict between Israel and Iran, within the broader context of regional conflicts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this dramatic scenario, which includes Israel and Palestine, the daily suffering of the population \u2014 especially in Gaza and other territories \u2014 risks being forgotten, even as the urgency for proper humanitarian support becomes ever more pressing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no distant conflicts when human dignity is at stake,\u201d he said. \u201cWar does not solve problems \u2014 on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of nations that take generations to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pope also evoked the most heartbreaking human toll of violence. \u201cNo armed victory can make up for a mother\u2019s grief, a child\u2019s fear, or a stolen future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, he renewed his call for diplomacy and commitment to peace: \u201cLet diplomacy silence the weapons; let nations shape their future through works of peace, not through violence and bloody conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his catechesis prior to the Angelus on Sunday, the feast of Corpus Christi, Pope Leo XIV focused on the deep meaning of the Eucharist and the value of sharing.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the day\u2019s Gospel, which recounts the miracle of the loaves and fishes (cf. Lk 9:11\u201317), he said that \u201cGod\u2019s gifts, even the smallest, grow whenever they are shared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pope Leo XVI noted that the supreme act of sharing was \u201cGod\u2019s sharing with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe, the Creator, who gave us life, in order to save us asked one of his creatures to be his mother, to give him a fragile, limited, mortal body like ours, entrusting himself to her as a child,\u201d the pope said. \u201cIn this way, he shared our poverty to the utmost limits, choosing to use the little we could offer him in order to redeem us.\u201d<\/p>\n

God\u2019s generosity is especially manifested in the gift of the Eucharist, the Holy Father said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, what happens between us and God through the Eucharist is precisely that the Lord welcomes, sanctifies and blesses the bread and wine that we place on the altar, together with the offering of our lives, and he transforms them into the Body and Blood of Christ, the sacrifice of love for the salvation of the world,\u201d Leo said.<\/p>\n

 \u201cGod unites himself to us by joyfully accepting what we bring, and he invites us to unite ourselves to him by likewise joyfully receiving and sharing his gift of love,\u201d he added. \u201cIn this way, says Saint Augustine, \u2018just as one loaf is made from single grains collected together \u2026 so in the same way the body of Christ is made one by the harmony of charity.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The pope was scheduled to celebrate Mass for the feast of Corpus Christi at 5 p.m. Sunday, followed by a eucharistic procession through the streets of Rome.<\/p>\n
