Pope Francis asked today (10), at the end of the Palm Sunday mass, before the Angelus in Saint Peter’s Square, for an Easter truce in the war to reach peace.
“Put down your arms, start a paschal truce, but not to reload your weapons and resume the fight, no! A truce to reach peace, through true negotiation, also available to any sacrifice for the good of the people” .
For the pontiff, nothing is impossible for God, including putting an end to a war whose end cannot be seen. “A war that, every day, puts before our eyes hideous massacres and atrocious cruelties carried out against defenseless[helpless]civilians”.[indefesos}”
Before the Marian prayer, Francis greeted pilgrims from various countries and those who followed the ceremony through the media.
In particular, he greeted the people of Peru who, according to him, are going through a difficult time of social tension.
Francis assured his prayers and asked all parties to find, as soon as possible, a peaceful solution for the good of the country.
