Pope Leo delivered a moving speech in Beirut on Monday, urging renewed hope and a collective commitment to peace across the Middle East at a moment of heightened regional tension and deep humanitarian suffering. Speaking at Martyrs’ Square before religious leaders, officials, and thousands of attendees, the Pope emphasized that lasting peace requires dialogue, dignity, and a shared belief in the possibility of reconciliation.
His address comes as Lebanon continues to confront political paralysis, economic collapse, and fears of spillover from conflicts in neighboring countries. The Pope called Lebanon a “land of coexistence” and said the nation’s resilience serves as a reminder that peace is not only a desire but a human vocation. His remarks resonated strongly among Lebanese citizens, many of whom see his visit as a symbol of international support during an unprecedented crisis.
