VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Leo XIV asked Catholics to observe Aug. 22 as a day of prayer and fasting for peace and justice, particularly in Ukraine and in the Holy Land.
At the end of his general audience Aug. 20, the pope noted that the church will celebrate the feast of the Queenship of Mary Aug. 22.
Encountering the pope the day after U.S. President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a delegation of European leaders, the reporters asked Pope Leo if he had heard from any of the leaders.
Pope Leo, who marked the 100th day of his papacy Aug. 16, also was asked how that was going.
I really believe in the Lord’s grace, and I am so thankful for the reception I have received.”Ending his short, second stay at Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo said he would return.
