At the end of the Angelus prayer, Pope Francis turned his gaze to the countries that are at war and demanded that civilian populations be respected and their cry for peace be heard, because people “are tired of violence.”
Before the 20,000 pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square, the Pontiff noted that “for three years, the cry of pain and the noise of weapons have replaced the smile that characterizes the people of Myanmar.”
“For this reason, I join the voice of some Burmese bishops, ‘so that the weapons of destruction are transformed into instruments to grow in humanity and justice,’” he added.
