In his inaugural speech as Pope Leo XIV at St. Peter's Basilica, Cardinal Robert Prevost called for peace and unity among all people, echoing the message of the Risen Christ. He expressed a commitment to building bridges of dialogue and promoting justice within the Church and the world. Acknowledging Pope Francis' legacy, Prevost reinforced the idea that God loves all unconditionally and urged humanity to move forward without fear, united in faith and mission. His message emphasized the importance of being faithful disciples of Christ, encouraging collective efforts toward peace and reconciliation.
Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed peace and a disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, God who loves us all unconditionally.
Allow me to follow up on that same blessing: God loves us, God loves you all, and evil will not prevail! We are all in the hands of God.
Help us, too, and help each other to build bridges, with dialogue, with meetings, uniting us all to be one people, always in peace.
I am a son of Saint Augustine, an Augustinian, who said: 'with you I am a Christian and for you I am a bishop'.
