Pope appeals for prayers for peace after terrorist
attacks
(Vatican Radio) Following the
Angelus prayer on Sunday, Pope Francis once again called for prayer for
goodness and fraternity in the wake of recent acts of terrorism and violence.
“At this time our soul is
once again moved by sad news related to deplorable acts of terrorism and of
violence, which have caused sorrow and death,” the Pope said. “I think of the
dramatic events in Munich in Germany, and in Kabul in Afghanistan, where many
innocent people lost their lives.” He assured the family and friends of the
victims of his spiritual closeness to them.
The Holy Father also called
on people to join him in prayer “that the Lord might inspire in everyone intentions
of goodness and fraternity.” The more “difficulties might seem insurmountable,
and prospects of security and peace seem obscure,” he said, “the more insistent
must our prayer be.”
Finally, after a few moments
of silent prayer, Pope Francis led those gathered in Saint Peter’s Square in
the recitation of the Ave Maria.
