Appeal for peace

Pope Francis, after praying Regina Coeli on the third Sunday of Easter from the Pontifical Balcony in St. Peter's Square, said: "I am deeply concerned about the current world situation, in which, despite the instruments available to the international community, it is difficult to agree on a common action in favor of peace in Syria and other regions of the world." And he launched a new and urgent appeal to all political leaders for justice and peace to prevail and assured his "unceasingly prayer" for peace, inviting all the people of good will "to continue doing so."

In difficult times, Saint Pedro Poveda invited us "to redouble prayer." Following this invitation, we join together to pray for peace and to build peace.
