After singing the Regina Coeli, Pope Lio XIV denounced (as Pope Francis did) a WWIII being fought at piecemeal, and repeated Pope Paul VI appeal to the powerful of the world: "Never again war."
He asked for prayers, and real and lasting peace for "beloved" Ukraine; expressed pain over what's happening in the Gaza Strip and celebrated the agreement between India and Pakistan.

Newly elected Pope Leo XIV began his first homily with words in English during Mass in the Sistine Chapel with the College of Cardinals.

The Vatican fire brigade has put up the chimney stack, which will announce the election of the new Pope.
The Cardinals will gather in the Sistine Chapel on May 7 to begin the conclave to select the next Pope.
Twice a day, in the morning (except on May 7) and in the evening, smoke will emerge from the chimney - black if no Pope has been elected and white if at least 89 Cardinals have agreed on who will lead the Catholic Church.

"This dialogue is what creates peace. It is impossible for peace to exist without dialogue. All the wars, all the strife, all the unsolved problems over which we clash are due to a lack of dialogue. When there is a problem, talk: this makes peace." - Pope Francis, 2013
