Pope Leo XIV: ‘The wounds of war extend beyond the battlefield’

In his Message for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, Pope Leo warns that war has consequences that destroy far beyond the battlefield and says that we are to imitate the Lord’s offering of peace to work toward peace in the world.

Pope Leo said this in his Message for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, published on Thursday by the Holy See Press Office.
