Vatican City, 2 September 2015 (VIS) –
After today's catechesis the Pope launched a new appeal for peace, on
the anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
“During these days, also in the
Middle East, we commemorate the end of the Second World War”, he
said. “I renew my heartfelt prayers to the Lord of all so that, by
the intercession of Our Lady, today's world may never again
experience the horrors and the appalling suffering of similar
tragedies. But it experiences them! This is also the enduring desire
of all peoples, especially those who are victims of the various
current bloody conflicts. Persecuted minorities, persecuted
Christians, the madness of destruction, and then those who produce
and deal in arms, weapons soaked with the blood of so many innocent
people. No more war! It is the fervent cry that, from our hearts and
from the hearts of all men and women of good will, rises up to the
Prince of peace”.
