I would like to offer the pilgrim pausing before this small sacred monument, a wayside cross bearing the body of the crucified Christ, the words of welcome of Pope Leo XIV as a short meditation. Immediately after his election, before bestowing the traditional blessing "urbi et orbi" (to the city and the world) upon the waiting faithful, he addressed the people gathered in St. Peter's Square, as well as those participating via radio, television, and the internet, with these moving words:
+ "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too desire that this greeting of peace enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you! This is the peace of the Risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally."
(Robert Francis Prevost / Pope Leo XIV)
