In Castel Gandolfo, after the Angelus prayer on Sunday, August 16,
Pope Leo XIV said:Dear brothers and sisters,
I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.
The Mediterranean Games will begin this week in Taranto. They will include various countries from Africa, Asia and Europe that are part of the Mediterranean region. I hope this sporting event will be a sign of peace and friendship among the peoples of this region and the entire world.
And now I welcome all of you who have gathered here at Castel Gandolfo for the Sunday Angelus.
I warmly welcome pilgrims from various countries. In greeting the Polish pilgrims, I extend my blessing to the many women participating in the traditional pilgrimage to the Shrine of Piekary Śląskie, in Upper Silesia.
I wish everyone a happy Sunday.
