00:06Pope Leo led the world's Catholics into Easter at a Saturday night vigil mass in St. Peter's
00:12Basilica on April 4, urging people not to feel numbed by the scope of the conflicts raging
00:18across the world, but to work for peace. Leo, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of
00:24the Iran War, said that mistrust and fear have been allowed to
00:27sever the bonds between us through war, injustice, and the isolation of peoples and nations.
00:34Non mancano anche ai nostri giorni sepolcri da aprire, e spesso le pietre che li chiudono
00:43sono così pesanti e ben vigilate da sembrare inamovibili. Alcuni oprimono l'uomo nel cuore,
00:52come la sfiducia, la paura, l'egoismo, il rancore. Altre conseguenze di quelle interiori spezzano i
01:03legami tra noi, come la guerra, la ingiustizia, la chiusura tra popoli e nazioni. Non lasciamocene
01:12paralizzate.
01:14Leo, who is known for choosing his words carefully, did not mention any specific conflicts during
01:19the service, at which he also baptized ten adult converts to Catholicism.
01:26On March 31st, the Pope made a direct appeal to U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, urging
01:32the President to find an off-ramp to end the war. The Pope will conclude his Easter celebrations
01:38on Sunday with a Mass in St. Peter's Square, and will deliver a special blessing and message,
01:43which is usually a time when he makes a major international appeal.
