Additional quotes by Leo XIV
Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the good shepherd who gave his life for the flock of God. I too would like this greeting of peace to enter your heart, to reach your families, to all people, wherever they are, to all peoples, to all the earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed peace and a disarming, humble and persevering peace. He comes from God, God who loves us all unconditionally.
Fratelli carissimi, vorrei concludere questa prima parte del il nostro incontro facendo mio – e proponendo anche a voi – l’auspicio che San Paolo VI, nel 1963, pose all’inizio del suo Ministero petrino: "Passi su tutto il mondo come una grande fiamma di fede e di amore che accenda tutti gli uomini di buona volontà, ne rischiari le vie della collaborazione reciproca, e attiri sull’umanità, ancora e sempre, l’abbondanza delle divine compiacenze, la forza stessa di Dio, senza l’aiuto del Quale, nulla è valido, nulla è santo".
