教皇利奥十四世周日举行了就任教皇后的首场复活节弥撒，他呼吁世人怀抱希望，对抗“造成杀戮与毁灭的战争暴力”，并称“今天我们需要这首希望之歌”，当前全球各地冲突愈演愈烈。
随着美以对伊朗的战争进入第二个月，以及俄罗斯在乌克兰的持续军事行动，利奥已多次呼吁停火。在复活节布道中，教皇点名谴责了发动战争、虐待弱势群体以及唯利是图的行为。
“基督复活所拥有的力量完全是非暴力的，”这位美国出生的首位教皇说道，他提及了基督教在复活节纪念的耶稣复活事件。“弟兄姐妹们，这是带给人类和平的真正力量，因为它能在各个层面培养彼此尊重的关系：个人之间、家庭之间、社会群体之间以及国家之间。它不追求私利，而是追求共同利益；它不试图强加自身的计划，而是与他人携手合作，共同设计并执行计划。”
利奥在圣彼得广场的露天祭坛向信众发表讲话，祭坛两侧摆放着白玫瑰，通往信众聚集广场的台阶上则摆满了春季多年生花卉，这与教皇传递的希望讯息形成了象征性呼应。
教皇恳请信众在死亡面前坚守希望，而死亡正潜藏在“不公、党派私利、对穷人的压迫、对最弱势群体的忽视之中。

“我们在暴力中、在世界的创伤中、在来自每个角落的痛苦呐喊中看到了这一点——这些痛苦源于压迫我们当中最弱者的暴行，源于掠夺地球资源的利润偶像崇拜，源于造成杀戮与毁灭的战争暴力，”他说道。
他援引前任教皇方济各的话警告世人，不要对“持续存在的不公、邪恶、冷漠与残忍”无动于衷，因为“同样真实的是，在黑暗之中，总会有新生命萌发，迟早会结出果实”。
他随后将发表传统的“Urbi et Orbi”致辞——拉丁语意为“致城市与世界”。
被基督徒视为耶稣受难与复活圣地的圣墓教堂，根据与以色列警方达成的协议，今年的传统仪式规模有所缩减。当局因持续的导弹袭击限制了公众集会规模。
这些限制措施同样影响了近期的穆斯林斋戒月和开斋节假期，以及当前为期一周的犹太教逾越节。周日原本会有数万人参加的西墙犹太祭司祝福仪式，仅限制了50人参与。
这些限制措施加剧了以色列当局与基督教领袖之间的紧张关系。警方上周阻止了两位教会最高宗教领袖——包括拉丁教区族长皮尔巴蒂斯塔·皮扎巴拉——在圣墓教堂庆祝棕枝主日。
周二，教皇曾表达希望战争能在复活节前结束的愿望。
Pope Leo XIV calls for hope amid global conflicts on his first Easter as pontiff

Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first Easter Mass as pontiff with a call Sunday to exercise hope against “the violence of war that kills and destroys,” saying “we need this song of hope today” as conflicts spread around the world.
With the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran in its second month and Russia’s ongoing campaign in Ukraine, Leo has repeatedly called for a halt in hostilities. In his Easter homily, the pope singled out those who wage war, abuse the weak and prioritize profits.
“The power with which Christ rose is entirely nonviolent,” said Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, referencing the resurrection that Christianity observes on the Easter holiday. “Brothers and sisters, this is the true strength that brings peace to humanity, because it fosters respectful relationships at every level: among individuals, families, social groups, and nations. It does not seek private interests, but the common good; it does not seek to impose its own plan, but to help design and carry out a plan together with others.”
Leo addressed the faithful from an open-air altar in St. Peter’s Square flanked with white roses, while the steps leading down to the piazza where the faithful gathered were filled with spring perennials, symbolically resonating with the pope’s message of hope.
The pontiff implored the faithful to keep their hope in the face of death, which lurks “in injustices, in partisan selfishness, in the oppression of the poor, in the lack of attention given to the most vulnerable.

“We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys,” he said.
He quoted his predecessor Pope Francis in warning against falling into indifference in the face of “persistent injustice, evil, indifference and cruelty,” because “it is also true that in the midst of darkness, something new always springs to life and sooner or later produces fruit.”
He will later deliver the traditional “Urbi et Orbi” message — Latin for “to the city and the world.”
Traditional ceremonies at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, revered by Christians as the traditional site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, were scaled back under an agreement with Israeli police. Authorities have put limits on the sizes of public gatherings due to ongoing missile attacks.
The restrictions also dampened the recent Muslim holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr holiday, as well as the current weeklong Jewish festival of Passover. On Sunday, the Jewish priestly blessing at the Western Wall — normally attended by tens of thousands — was limited to just 50 people.
The restrictions have strained relations between Israeli authorities and Christian leaders. Police last week prevented two of the church’s top religious leaders, including Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, from celebrating Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
On Tuesday, the pope had expressed hope that the war could be finished before Easter.
