VATICAN – Pope Francis, marking an “Easter of war” on Sunday urged leaders to hear the people’s plea for peace in Ukraine, France 24 reported.
The 85-year-old pope made his comments in his twice-yearly “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and the world) address to about 50,000 people in St. Peter’s Square after a long Mass.
It was the first Easter since 2019 that the public was allowed to attend following two years of COVID-19 restrictions.
“Let there be a decision for peace. May there be an end to the flexing of muscles while people are suffering,” Francis said. (MENA)
