Leo XIV warned that the armaments race “is worrying”
Pope Leo XIV has made an analysis of the “current world context, sadly marked by wars, violence, injustices and extreme weather phenomena”, highlighting the courage of “millions of people who leave their homeland looking for refuge elsewhere”, and have again appealed for peace.
The declaration is in the message “Migrants, Missionaries of Hope”, released on Friday (25) on the occasion of the “World Migrants and Refugees Day”, which will be celebrated in coincidence with the jubilee of migrants and the missionary world, on 4 and 5 October.
Leo XIV reflects on the relationship between hope, migration and mission and warns that “the widespread tendency to take care exclusively to the interests of the limited communities is a serious threat to share responsibilities, multilateral cooperation, the realization of the common good and global solidarity for the benefit of the entire human family”.
“The perspective of a new ride to armaments and the development of new weapons, including nuclear power, lack of consideration for the harmful effects of the ongoing climatic crisis and the profound economic inequalities make the challenges of the present and future present,” he said.
According to the leader of the Catholic Church, “in the face of the theories of global devastation and frightening scenarios, it is important that the desire to expect a future of dignity and peace for all human beings grows in the heart of most people”.
For the Pope, the connection between migration and hope is clearly revealed in many of today’s migratory experiences.
According to Robert Prevost, “in a world obscured by wars and injustices, even where everything seems lost, migrants and refugees are messengers of hope”.
“The courage and tenacity of migrants and refugees are heroic testimonies of a faith that sees beyond what our eyes can see and gives them the strength to challenge death in different contemporary migratory routes,” he concluded. .
