• Pope Leo XIV visits Metz

  Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass at the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Metz on Sept. 28 to conclude a four-day pastoral visit to France. During his homily, the pope urged humanity to pursue reconciliation and peace rather than revenge or retaliation. He told those living in a region previously marked by conflict that seeking forgiveness and walking together are not signs of weakness. The visit to Metz, which also included Paris and Lourdes, focused on the themes of peace, unity, and the value of human life. While in the city, the pope traveled in a popemobile through streets lined with thousands of people and met with Metz Mayor Francois Grosdidier, who presented him with several gifts, including a wooden tennis racket. The stop in Metz also served to recognize the legacy of Venerable Robert Schuman, a founder of the European Union who worked for peace and the common good following World War II. The pope's visit included discussions with European religious and political leaders regarding the continent's unity.
