In a heartfelt plea for compassion and peace, Pope Francis once again appeals for the world's attention and prayers to support people across the globe who are enduring the devastating consequences of war.
During his weekly General Audience, he urged the world not to forget the war in Ukraine and to keep the Palestinian and Israeli peoples in their thoughts, praying for a just and lasting peace.
Pope Francis emphasized the extent of suffering that plagues many regions, stating, "There is so much suffering; children are suffering; the sick are suffering, and many young people are dying. War is always a defeat. Let us not forget: War is always a defeat."
The Pope has been a consistent advocate for peace and has called for negotiated solutions to conflicts worldwide. He has never ceased to mention and pray for those suffering from violence and displacement in Ukraine, particularly since the Russian invasion over 18 months ago.
Furthermore, he has repeatedly urged for a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged Gaza Strip following the onset of violent hostilities between Hamas and Israel on October 7, 2023.
