Read Pope Francis' last public speech
Briefly

In his last public appearance on Easter Sunday, Pope Francis delivered his traditional Urbi et Orbi message from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, due to his recovery from bilateral pneumonia. His message centered around the resurrection of Jesus as a foundation of hope, urging people to embrace life and stand against violence and contempt for the vulnerable. He called for a renewed hope in humanity, highlighting the importance of valuing every life, from the unborn to the elderly, and fostering understanding across different cultures and backgrounds.
Easter is the celebration of life! God created us for life and wants the human family to rise again! In his eyes, every life is precious!
Hope is no longer an illusion. Thanks to Christ crucified and risen from the dead hope does not disappoint! Spes non confundit!
Together with the risen Jesus, they become pilgrims of hope, witnesses of the victory of love and of the disarmed power of Life.
What a great thirst for death, for killing, we witness each day in the many conflicts raging in different parts of our world!
