This Sunday (15), Pope Leo
The first North American pope warned that violence will not bring the justice, stability and peace that the people of the region so desire. During his Sunday prayer in St. Peter’s Square, in the Vatican, the Pope said that for two weeks now the people of the Middle East have been suffering the violence of war.
Leo called for a ceasefire on behalf of Christians in the Middle East, all women and men of good will. He also said that the situation in Lebanon, which has been devastated by Israel, is also a cause for concern.
