Pope Leo XIV appeared on the loggia of St Peter’s Basilica for his first ever Regina Coeli address on Sunday the 11th of May. Addressing the faithful gathered in St Peter\u2019s Square and countless others following from around the world he echoed the cry for peace of his predecessor, Pope Francis. 
\u201cIn today\u2019s dramatic context of a third world war fought piecemeal … I too appeal to the powerful of the world by repeating these ever-relevant words: never again war!<\/i>\u201d
He recalled, first, \u201cthe immense tragedy of the Second World War", which came to an end 80 years ago, on 8 May, "after causing 60 million deaths.\u201d 
Pope Leo then turned to the modern wars plaguing the world today:  \u201cI carry in my heart the suffering of the beloved Ukrainian people,\u201d he said, urging that "every effort be made to reach a true, just, and lasting peace as soon as possible".
"May all prisoners be freed, and may the children be returned to their families", he said.
 
He then turned to the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip. \u201cI am deeply pained by what is happening,\u201d he said. \u201cLet the fighting cease immediately, let humanitarian aid be provided to the exhausted civilian population, and may all hostages be released".
With a sense of hope, Pope Leo XIV then welcomed the recent announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. \u201cI hope that, through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting agreement may soon be reached,\u201d he said.
However, he continued, \u201chow many other conflicts are there in the world?\u201d 
Finally, Pope Leo entrusted his "heartfelt appeal" to Mary Queen of Peace, "so that she may present it to the Lord Jesus and obtain for us the miracle of peace.\u201d
