“I have a great pain in my heart for the worsening of the situation in Ukraine”, said the Pope. “Despite the diplomatic efforts of the last few weeks, increasingly alarming scenarios are opening up”. “I would like to appeal to those who have political responsibilities – continued Francis – to make a serious examination of conscience before God, who is the God of peace and not of war, the father of all, not just of someone, who wants us to be brothers and not enemies”. “I ask all the parties involved to refrain from any action that causes even more suffering to the populations, discrediting international law”. “Like me, so many people all over the world are experiencing anguish and concern – said the Pope in his appeal – Once again the peace of all is threatened by vested interests”. “I ask all the parties involved – he added – to refrain from any action that causes even more suffering to the populations, destabilizing coexistence between nations and discrediting international law”.
“I would like to appeal to everyone, believers and non-believers – said the pope -. Jesus taught us that the diabolical senselessness of violence is answered with the weapons of God, with prayer and fasting. I invite everyone to do the next 2 March, Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting for peace. I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on that day. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war “.
