May the Lord, who is our peace, help us to overcome the mentality of war. May he grant those who are prisoners in conflicts, especially in eastern Ukraine and Nagorno-Karabakh, to return safely to their families, and inspire leaders around the world to stop the arms race.-I feel close to young people around the world and, at this moment, in a particular way to those in Myanmar, who are committed to democracy, making their voices heard in a peaceful way, knowing that hatred can only be dispelled with love-The clamor of arms is finally silenced in beloved and tormented Syria, where millions of people currently live in inhuman conditions, as well as in Yemen, whose vicissitudes are surrounded by a deafening and scandalous silence, and in Libya, where it is finally glimpsed the exit to a decade of bloody strife and confrontations.-Israelis and Palestinians once again find the strength of dialogue to reach a stable solution that allows two States to coexist in peace and prosperity.

SOUNDBITES OF POPE FRANCIS.TRANSLATION:"The proclamation of the Gospel is always linked to the embrace of a specific cross. The meek light of the Word generates clarity in well-disposed hearts and confusion and rejection in those which are not"."All this makes us see that the proclamation of the Good News is mysteriously linked to persecution and the Cross.""Feeling that the Lord always gives us what we ask for, but He does it in his divine way. This mode involves the cross. Not out of masochism, but out of love, out of love unril the end."
