Peace is not passive. Peace is prophetic. It demands that we disarm not only our arsenals, but also our hearts - of hatred, suspicion, indifference, and fear. Remarks from Commemoration ceremony this evening in Nagasaki. tinyurl.com/37j2me5f

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. If we open ourselves to Christ and follow His Word, He will also enlighten and transfigure our own lives. In this way, we can make His light shine in the world.

Dear young people, Jesus is our hope. Aspire to great things, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not settle for less. You will then see the light of the Gospel growing every day, in you and around you.

A fitting close to his arrival ride (tonight’s rite being built around the Road to Emmaus) – and a reminder that, as not seen since 1990, we’ve got a Pope younger than 70 for another 6 weeks – Leo carries the Jubilee Cross for the last leg to Youth Vigil:

Musica, cori, testimonianze, grida di gioia. Sotto il sole, rinfrancati da un vento leggero e dalle bottigliette d’acqua distribuite gratuitamente, migliaia di giovani di tutto il mondo attendono l’arrivo di #PapaLeoneXIV a Tor Vergata

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the Moon—and with them, the world took a giant leap. That moment sparked a legacy of exploration that continues today as @NASA and its partners advance toward Artemis II and prepare for the next great frontier: Mars.

He wears a white spacesuit with a rectangular life support backpack, his boots hovering just above the dusty gray lunar surface. The sky behind him is dark and vast. The lander’s metallic structure is covered in crinkled gold-colored material, reflecting the sunlight. Credit: NASA

Anca and I were grateful and touched to receive the highest blessing today, from His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV on the 56th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. What an honor! We prayed for good health, long life, and prosperity for all humankind. #PopeLeoXIV
A 56 anni dall’allunaggio dell’Apollo 11, #PapaLeoneXIV ha parlato questa sera con l’astronauta Buzz Aldrin. Con lui ha condiviso la memoria di un’impresa storica, testimonianza dell’ingegno umano
