Pope Francis called for peace in Ukraine and around the world in an Easter morning address.
In his message to thousands in attendance at the Vatican's St. Peter’s Square service, Francis called the holiday an “Easter of war."“We have seen all too much blood, all too much violence,” Francis said. “Our hearts, too, have been filled with fear and anguish, as so many of our brothers and sisters have had to lock themselves away in order to be safe from bombing. We struggle to believe that Jesus is truly risen, that he has truly triumphed over death.
In addition to Ukraine, Francis called for peace in other parts of the world, including Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Myanmar, and Afghanistan.“Every war brings in its wake consequences that affect the entire human family: from grief and mourning to the drama of refugees, and to the economic and food crisis, the signs of which we are already seeing,” Francis said.
