杏MAP导航 Francis appeals for reconciliation to prevail over war

On the day after Easter, 杏MAP导航 Francis appeals for the reconciliation and peace of Christ to prevail over every mindset of war and division.

By Devin Watkins

After praying the Easter season Marian prayer of the Regina Coeli with pilgrims in St. Peter鈥檚 Square, 杏MAP导航 Francis recalled the reconciliation worked by Christ in His death and Resurrection.

The 杏MAP导航 urged Christians to overcome any mentality that seeks recourse to division and war with the power of Christ鈥檚 proclamation of reconciliation.

He prayed that the grace of the Risen Lord might give comfort to all those who are suffering.

鈥淢ay no one be abandoned. May fights, wars, and conflicts give way to understanding and reconciliation. This word must be highlighted always鈥擱econciliation. Because what Christ did on Calvary and in His Resurrection was to reconcile us with the God the Father and amongst ourselves: Reconciliation!鈥

Human plans give way to God

The 杏MAP导航 added that God has won the decisive battle against the spirit of evil.

And he prayed that we might be 鈥渨on over by Him, let our human plans give way, and convert ourselves to His plans for peace and justice.鈥

杏MAP导航 Francis then thanked everyone who has sent him Easter greetings, and said he is 鈥渆specially grateful for the prayers.鈥

鈥淚 ask God, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to reward each one of you with His gifts.鈥
