Greeting tens of thousands of visitors crowded in St. Peter's Square, Pope Leo XIV welcomed all the young people who arrived in Rome for the Jubilee of Youth.
The "barbarity of war" and forced displacement of people have to end, and civilians and places of worship have to be protected, Pope Leo XIV implored.
As part of his summer break, Pope Leo XIV visited members of the Italian Carabinieri in Castel Gandolfo and the Poor Clares in nearby Albano Laziale.
To believe in and follow a loving and compassionate Christ is to allow him to enter one's heart and take on his same feelings, Pope Leo XIV said.
