Pope Angelus: Prayers for refugees, Syria and Fiji
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Sunday prayed for refugees fleeing wars and what he called “other inhuman
situations.” In particular, he drew attention to the migrant crisis in Greece
and in other countries that are on the front line in offering aid to those in
need which he added, required the cooperation of all nations.
The Holy Father said that a
united response was most effective in order to distribute the burden evenly,
continuing that, “ for this we need to focus firmly and unreservedly on
negotiations.”
The Pope made the comments
following the Angelus prayer in St Peter’s Square where he also welcomed the
news about the cessation of hostilities in Syria. He invited everyone to pray
so that this window of opportunity would give relief to the suffering people,
and open the way to dialogue and much desired peace.
Pope Francis also expressed
his closeness to the people of the Fiji Islands, hit hard by a devastating
cyclone adding that he was praying for the victims and for those engaged in
relief operations.
