CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV received more than 300 representatives of organizations that promote peace and encouraged them in their work.

“If you want peace, prepare institutions of peace,” Pope Leo said during the audience, which took place on May 30 in Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace. “Increasingly we realize that this cannot simply involve political institutions, whether national or international, but requires all institutions—educational, economic and social.”
