Pope Leo XIV: “We Know Israel does not … Accept” Palestinian State, But “We see it as the only Solution”

After meeting Lebanon's civil authorities on Sunday evening, Pope Leo travelled to the Monastery of the Carmelite Sisters of the Theotokos in Harissa. Addressing the nuns, he recalled three words at the heart of their contemplative vocation: humility, prayer and sacrifice.
