Pope Liu XIV called on Wednesday to reach the Gaza Strip for humanitarian aid and to eliminate “heartbreak” on his people, when he presided over his first general audience in St. Peters Square.
There were about 40 40,000 people for the audience, who participated in the opening mass of 200,000 people on Sunday for the first US Pope in history, the Vatican said.
Former Chicago Cardinal Robert Preoast, Liu, launched the audience with a tour on Pope Mobile with a tour and stopped many children. To deal with specific salutes to different groups of pilgrims, Liu spoke in his native English, its flowing Spanish as well as in the traditional Italian of Papisi.
“I have renewed my heartfelt appeal to allow Gaza to enter the dignity of humanitarian aid and eliminate the enemies whose heartbreak is being paid by children, the elderly and the sick,” he said.
On Wednesday, ordinary audiences are a weekly appointment that the pops have been kept for decades to allow ordinary loyalists to face face -to -face with Pontam. It offers a brief reflection on the passage of a theme or scripture, which directs the summary and pope specific messages provided by others in different languages that instruct groups of special beliefs.

The encounter, which lasts for more than an hour, usually ends with a short situations about the current problem or upcoming program by the Pope. Liu started it with many of his now mantra “security is with you”.
For this purpose, Liu confirmed the Vatican's willingness to host the next round of ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday, during a phone call with Italian Premier Georgia Meloni.
Meloni called with US President Donald Trump and other European leaders, who asked him to confirm Holi's offer.
Meloni's office said in a statement late Tuesday, “In search of a sacred father about the consent to welcome the next dialogue between the parties, the Prime Minister thanked Pope Liu XIV for his consent and his continued commitment to peace.”
Trump on Monday cited the Vatican's long -standing offer in reporting his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Although there may be lower levels in Rome, Italy will be pressured to allow Putin to fly in Rome for any high -level negotiations. Putin is subject to the international arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court, of which Italy is a founding member and is therefore obliged to implement his warrant.
