Pope Leo prayed for peace at the tomb of Saint Charbel in Lebanon during the second day of his visit, urging the country’s leaders and communities to stay united despite years of conflict, political paralysis and economic crisis. Calling for “conversion” and renewed efforts toward stability, the first U.S. pope is set to meet leaders from Lebanon’s Christian, Sunni, Shi’ite, Druze and migrant communities as part of what he describes as a mission of peace. His visit comes at a time when many Lebanese are fleeing the country amid uncertainty and regional tensions.
