鈥淧entecost brings us at heart to Jerusalem鈥�, 杏MAP导航 Francis began after reciting the Regina Coeli with the faithful gathered in St Peter鈥檚 Square on Pentecost Sunday.

Prayer for Peace in the Middle East

The 杏MAP导航 went on to say that he had followed spiritually a prayer vigil for peace held in Jerusalem on the Vigil of Pentecost. 鈥淟et us continue to pray today鈥�, he invited those gathered, 鈥渢hat the Holy Spirit might arouse the desire for and gestures of dialogue and reconciliation in the Holy Land and in the entire Middle East鈥�.

Beloved Venezuela

杏MAP导航 Francis then turned his thoughts toward Venezuela which he called 鈥渂eloved鈥�. He prayed that the Holy Spirit might give all the people of Venezuela 鈥渢he wisdom to find the path of peace and unity鈥�. He ended this thought praying for the inmates who died during a prison riot on Saturday night.
