«We continue to pray for the paz“Unfortunately, tensions are very high on the war fronts. Let the voice of the people who ask for peace be heard,” said Pope Francis this Sunday after the Angelus prayer.
He made a new appeal for those calling for peace to be heard and regretted that “tensions are very high on the war fronts,” he said from the window of the apostolic palace.
He asked not to forget “the martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Myanmar and so many countries that are at war. Let us pray for peace.”
The Pope made this appeal after Israel consolidated a second front in its war with daily attacks in the north against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and continued its offensive in the south against Hamas in Gaza, where the number of dead now exceeds 41,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
During the Angelus, the Pope lamented: “How many people suffer and die because of power struggles! These are lives that the world rejects, just as it rejected Jesus. When he was handed over to men, he did not find an embrace, but a cross.”
