Pope Leo emphasised that peace is both a gift and an ongoing workshop. Here, peace is more than a mere word: peacemaking is a renewed and continuous beginning. The seeker of peace must accept and embrace reality as it is, for peace means knowing how to live together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lebanon is a diverse country, and we work so that one common language may unite us: <strong>the language of hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The role of women in their persistent and patient commitment to preserving and building peace<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The period of the Pope\u2019s presence among us was a spiritual time; His Holiness helped us cross from the shore of discouragement to the shore of faith. In the reverence of the prayers and the unifying gatherings, we saw a clear call to rebuild the human person from within. The Supreme Pontiff sowed within us the certainty that no matter how long Lebanon\u2019s night lasts, it must be followed by the dawn of resurrection. The Pope called upon the Church and the faithful to be bridges of encounter, not walls of isolation. Socially and humanly, and this was perhaps the most visible aspect, the Pope became the voice of the voiceless. We felt his solidarity with the tears of mothers, the anxiety of emigrating youth, and the suffering of the poor. His Holiness did not come merely to shake hands, but to speak to broken hearts, demanding every citizen\u2019s right to live with dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wucwo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/6.2025-12-01-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wucwo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/6.2025-12-01-980x735.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/wucwo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/6.2025-12-01-480x360.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pope stressed the <strong>essential role of women in their persistent and patient commitment to preserving and building peace<\/strong>. He also affirmed that their participation in social and political life, as well as in the life of their religious communities \u2014 taking into account the youthful energy they carry \u2014 is, throughout the world, an element of true renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the final day, the Pope met at Deir Al-Salib with the world of pain and those who suffer, and there he gave voice to those who have none. He then paused before the Port of Beirut, where he prayed, greeted, met, dried tears, and expressed solidarity in mourning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;O Lebanon, arise!&#8221;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pope concluded his visit with the Divine Liturgy in Beirut before tens of thousands of Lebanese. In the final part of his homily, he proclaimed: \u2018O Lebanon, arise! not as an emotional appeal, but as a call to strip hearts of enmity and weapons, and to awaken within them the dream of a unified Lebanon founded on justice and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now we say: <strong>The Pope\u2019s visit begins the moment it ends!
