Pope Leo, after Rubio meeting, asks God to inspire leaders to calm tensions
He urged world leaders to calm tensions and reduce hatred, saying the Rosary calls for renewed commitment to peace as wars continue.
- On Friday, Pope Leo XIV marked the first anniversary of his election by visiting the Pompeii sanctuary, a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary near the ancient Roman city's ruins.
- Founded by 19th-century saint Bartolo Longo, the sanctuary holds special significance for Leo, who commemorated the May 8 feast of Our Lady of Pompeii coinciding with his pontificate's start.
- During an outdoor mass, the pope greeted 400 sick and disabled people, telling them: "We cannot resign ourselves to the images of death that we see on the news every day."
- Cheering crowds welcomed the pontiff despite recent sparring with President Donald Trump over the Iran war, with supporters praising Leo's commitment to preaching the Gospel amid political pressure.
- Later on Friday, the pope will travel to Naples to venerate the relics of San Gennaro and greet crowds gathered in the Piazza del Plebiscito.
