Pope Francis did not pray Sunday's Angelus alone. He was joined by two children.
Dear Pope Francis, like every year, we are here to scream to the whole city and the whole world our desire for peace.
Two children came from schools and parishes in Rome. Each year, they take part in the "Caravan of Peace" organized by Catholic Action. This year, their initiative had a special relevance in view of the situation in several parts of the world.
Pope Francis renewed his plea for peace in Ukraine and the Holy Land. He also singled out Burma, where more than two years of civil war have caused the displacement of thousands of people.
POPE FRANCIS
Peace is a path, and I call on all parties involved to take steps of dialogue and clothe themselves with understanding so that the land of Myanmar can reach the goal of fraternal reconciliation.
The Pope also celebrated the release of the nuns kidnapped in Haiti and condemned the attack on a parish in Turkey where one person was killed.
