Pope: 'May weapons fall silent, situation in Gaza is desperate'

Appealing for peace in the Holy Land, Pope Francis expresses concern for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, calling on all parties to lay down their weapons and all Christians to pray and fast on 27 October for peace.

 

"War solves no problems," he said. "It only sows death and destruction, increases hatred, multiplies revenge. War erases the future, it erases the future."

The Holy Father went on to urge all believers to take one side only: that of peace. “But not with words,” he continued, “with prayer and with total dedication.”


In this regard, Pope Francis invited everyone to a day of prayer, fasting, and penance for peace.

On Friday, 27 October, he encouraged people of different Christian denominations, other religions, and all those who advocate for peace to participate as they see fit.

 

The central event will be an hour of prayer at 6 PM in St. Peter's Square, with the goal of invoking peace for the world.

 

"I invite all the particular Churches to take part by organizing similar initiatives which involve the people of God," he concluded.
