Humanity cries out and calls for peace.

June 23, 2025

El Papa León XIV hace llamado a la paz.

¡Que la diplomacia haga callar las armas!

Today more than ever, humanity cries out and calls for peace. This is a cry that requires responsibility and reason, and it must not be drowned out by the din of weapons or the rhetoric that incites conflict. Every member of the international community has a moral responsibility to stop the tragedy of war before it becomes an irreparable chasm. There are no “distant” conflicts when human dignity is at stake.


War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures.

May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts! - Pope Leo XIV - Sunday Angelus


Hoy más que nunca, la humanidad clama y pide la paz. Es un grito que exige responsabilidad y razón, y no debe ser sofocado por el estruendo de las armas ni por las palabras retóricas que incitan al conflicto. Todo miembro de la comunidad internacional tiene la responsabilidad moral de detener la tragedia de la guerra, antes de que se convierta en una vorágine irreparable. No existen conflictos “lejanos” cuando está en juego la dignidad humana.

La guerra no resuelve los problemas, sino que los amplifica y produce heridas profundas en la historia de los pueblos, que tardan generaciones en cicatrizar. Ninguna victoria armada podrá compensar el dolor de las madres, el miedo de los niños, el futuro robado.

¡Que la diplomacia haga callar las armas! ¡Que las naciones tracen su futuro con obras de paz, no con la violencia ni conflictos sangrientos! - Papa León XIV - Sunday Angelus

Pope Francis December 17, 1936 - April 21, 2025 Pope Francis often reminded us, "Don't forget to pray for me! The parish community of St. Mark with profound sorrow by the news of the death of His Holiness Pope Francis and with deep faith in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ unite in prayer with the whole church for the Holy Father's eternal repose. We also raise as a prayer in gratitude to God for giving us in Pope Francis a great spiritual father that always called us to simplicity, mercy and specially to serve those most in need. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in Peace. El Papa Francisco, con frecuencia nos recordó , "No se olviden de rezar por mi." La comunidad parroquial de San Marcos, Con profundo dolor por la noticia del fallecimiento de Su Santidad el Papa Francisco y con profunda fe en la Resurrección de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, nos unimos en oración con toda la Iglesia por el eterno descanso del Santo Padre. También elevamos una oración de gratitud a Dios por habernos dado en el Papa Francisco un gran padre espiritua que siempre nos llamó a la simplicidad, la misericordia y, especialmente, al servicio de los más necesitados. Concédele, Señor, el descanso eterno, y que brille para él la luz perpetua. Descanse en paz.
