Vatican
First source report
Pope Leo XIV has called for a rediscovery of Mary as a model of listening and hospitality to build dialogue and peace. In a message signed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin and sent on October 28, the Pope addressed participants of the conference "Mary, a Path of Dialogue and Peace for the Mediterranean."
The conference, held from October 27 to 29 in Perugia and Assisi, was organized by the Pontifical International Marian Academy and the Order of Friars Minor. The Pope described Mary as a model of faith and obedience whose example provides the pillars for authentic dialogue and the foundation for peace through fraternity.
The event included representatives from 12 Marian shrines worldwide, including the Santa Cruz shrine in Oran, Algeria; Garde shrine in Marseille, France; the Annunciation shrine in Nazareth; and the shrine in Harissa. Organizers stated that Mary of Nazareth can serve as a point of reference for different cultures and religions to work together for peace, particularly within the Mediterranean region.
