The Holy Father's Angelus Message For Peace

JMJ+D

Dear brothers and sisters,

As announced last Thursday, in view of the aggravating situation in the Middle East, I have called for today a special day of prayer and penitence, inviting ministers, the faithful and all believers to implore God for the gift of peace.

I renew with force my appeal to all parties to the conflict to declare a ceasefire, allow humanitarian aid to be done, and with the support of the international community, to seek ways to start negotiations. Read the entire message here.
