«We pray for the tormented Ukraine, we pray for Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, South Sudan and for all the peoples who suffer from wars. Brothers and sisters, war is always a defeat, always. And it is ignoble because it is the triumph of lies, of falsehood. We seek maximum interest for ourselves and maximum damage for the adversary by trampling on human lives, the environment, infrastructures, everything and everything disguised as lies. And the innocent suffer.” Pope Francis said this at the end of the Angelus, adding: “I think of the 153 women and children massacred in recent days in Gaza.”
