On the World Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Pope Leo XIV offers words of comfort to everyone battling an addiction, recalling that though drug use can be a sort of"invisible prison" difficult to escape, we are called to freedom.
The World Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking was declared by the United Nations to raise awareness of the major problem illicit drugs represent to society. Each year, the Day aims to strengthen global action and cooperation toward achieving a world free of drug abuse and is marked by campaigns, educational events, and community efforts to support prevention, treatment, and recovery.
Jesus, he recalled, had delivered this peace to the disciples who were locked in the Upper Room on Easter night, after they had abandoned Him, were afraid and disheartened. Even if"drugs and addictions are an invisible prison that you, in different ways, have known and fought," he said,"we are all called to freedom."
In particular, he lamented the vast concentrations of interest and sprawling criminal organizations"that States have a duty to dismantle."
