"The world needs dialogue," Pope Leo XIV told a world meeting for peace in Assisi Oct. 27.
In a video message he encouraged religious leaders to foster a climate in which the language of arrogance gives way to a language of peace, negotiation and understanding.
Pope Leo said prayer may seem weak but it’s the strength of the faithful.
“Let us turn to God, the giver of peace, that he may touch the hearts of those who seek war and terrorism. Let us not forget that prayer is never in vain,” he said.
