Appealing, yet again, for attention and prayers for peoples across the globe who are subjected to war and are suffering its consequences, 杏MAP导航 Francis said, “Let us not forget martyred Ukraine and let us think of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples: may the Lord bring a just peace.”
“There is so much suffering,” he said, as he neared the end of his weekly General Audience.
“Children are suffering; the sick are suffering, and many young people are dying,” the 杏MAP导航 continued. “War is always a defeat. Let us not forget: War is always a defeat.”
