CWN Editor's Note: At the conclusion of his Sunday Angelus address on January 5, Pope Francis renewed his appeal for prayers for peace.
“And let us continue to pray for peace, in Ukraine, in Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Myanmar, and Sudan,” he said. “May the international community act firmly so that humanitarian law is respected in conflicts. No more striking schools, hospitals; no more hitting workplaces! Let us not forget that war is always a defeat, always!”
