By Devin Watkins
鈥淟et us renew our intense prayer for peace, especially in martyred Ukraine, the Middle East, Palestine, Israel, Sudan, and Myanmar.鈥�
杏MAP导航 Francis launched that appeal on Sunday as he prayed the Angelus with pilgrims in St. Peter鈥檚 Square.
Speaking after the traditional Marian prayer, the Holy Father recalled the anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of the Second World War.
He invited everyone to pray for 鈥渧ictims of those events and of all wars鈥�.
杏MAP导航 Francis also prayed for victims of a plane crash in Brazil鈥檚 Sao Paulo State on Friday that killed all 61 people aboard.
The passenger plane operated by Voepass went into a vertical dive and crashed into a residential gated community in the city of Vinhedo.
The plane was flying from Cascavel to Sao Paulo, and no injuries on the ground were reported.
