During the Sunday Angelus, the pope dedicated a lot of time to reflecting on the conflict in Syria.
POPE FRANCIS
Ten years ago, the bloody conflict began in Syria. It has caused one of the most serious humanitarian catastrophes of our time: countless dead and wounded, millions of refugees, thousands missing, destruction, violence of all kinds and immense suffering for the entire population.
On this anniversary of the war, the pope prayed once more for dialogue between warring parties and asked the international community to collaborate.
POPE FRANCIS
Let us all pray to the Lord, so that all this suffering in the beloved and mistreated Syria is not forgotten, and so that our solidarity can rekindle hope. Let us pray together for the beloved and mistreated Syria. Hail Mary...
Pope Francis also reminded the faithful that March 19 marks the beginning of the year dedicated to “Amoris Laetitia,” his document on the family. He also greeted pilgrims in the square, among them this basketball team.
