“I pray and it hurts me that the Anglican hospital, as well as the Greek Orthodox parish, were affected in the past days,” Pope Francis said
In the developments in Middle East reported today from the square of Agios Petros, o Pope Francis. Addressing the faithful, the pontiff underlined:
“I follow what is happening in Israel and Palestine. I express my special pain and concern, I pray and stand with the hostages, the victims and their families. I am thinking of the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. It hurts me that, in the past days, the Anglican hospital and the Greek Orthodox parish were affected. I repeat my appeal for the release of the hostages. War is always a defeat, I am also referring to Ukraine. War is a destruction of human brotherhood, stop it, brothers.”
Pope Francis added that next Friday, October 27, for the Catholic Church will be a day of fasting, penance and prayer, in favor of peace.
At 6 pm, in Saint Peter’s, a prayer will be held, which will also be an appeal for peace throughout the world.
