Vatican City, 26 February 2014 (VIS) –
Following today's catechesis the Pope commented on the events of
recent days in Venezuela, and made an appeal for the cessation of
violence and hostilities. He expressed his hope that “that the
entire Venezuelan population, beginning with political and
institutional leaders, will take steps to ensure national
reconciliation, through mutual forgiveness and sincere dialogue,
respecting truth and justice, and able to face real issues for the
common good”.
The Holy Father gave the assurance of
his prayers, in particular for those who have lost their lives in the
clashes, and their families, and invited the faithful to raise
prayers to God for the maternal intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto
so that the country might once more find peace and harmony.
