Pope Francis calls on all Christians and People of all faiths to pray for peace in Syria
Sept 5, 2013
The Holy Father is asking Catholics and people of all faiths to join together on the vigil of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary – for a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria.
In his Sunday audience, on September 1st, filled with people from all over the world, Pope Francis said:
“All men and women of good will are bound by the task of pursuing peace. I make a forceful and urgent call to the entire Catholic Church, and also to every Christian of other confessions, as well as to followers of every religion and to those brothers and sisters who do not believe: peace is a good which overcomes every barrier, because it belongs all of humanity!”
Two predecessors of Pope Francis saw the horrible devastations of the Second World War. But Francis has also witnessed the violence raged in his home country of Argentina during the 1970s.
Holy Father said on Sunday: “Let us ask Mary to help us to respond to violence, to conflict and to war, with the power of dialogue, reconciliation and love. She is our mother: may she help us to find peace; all of us are her children! Help us, Mary, to overcome this most difficult moment and to dedicate ourselves each day to building in every situation an authentic culture of encounter and peace.”
