Pope Leo Calls for Peace on 911 Anniversary | Greenville News

Pope Leo the Fourteenth, the first American pope, marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a powerful call for global peace, urging prayer as a response to enduring violence and injustice. Born Robert Prevost in Chicago, he was leading the Augustinian order there when the attacks struck in 2001 — later becoming superior of the entire order just days after. In his first sermon as superior, delivered on September 21, 2001, he linked the tragedy to deeper societal wounds like poverty and inequality. Now, he reiterates that remembering 9/11 must inspire renewed commitment to peace — especially through prayer — as today’s conflicts mirror escalating global injustices.
