Pope Leo XIV delivered a powerful message of peace and non-violence during his Palm Sunday address, asserting that God rejects the prayers of those who engage in war amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Reflecting on the Passion of Jesus Christ, the Pope described Christ as the "King of Peace" who chose humility and sacrifice over violence, even in the face of suffering and death and emphasised that Jesus' life and actions stand in stark contrast to war and aggression.
