The Holy Father asked the faithful for prayers for Ukraine, Palestine, and Israel, which are suffering, during his weekly General Audience on Wednesday.
Pope Francis acknowledged the Ukrainian ambassador to the Holy See, Andrii Yurash, who was present in the audience.
“Let us not forget the peoples who suffer the evil of war. Wars are always a defeat. Let us not forget this. A defeat. Only arms manufacturers gain,” said the Holy Father.
He implored the faithful to “go to the crib and ask Jesus for peace. He is the Prince of Peace” as he emphasized the connection between the Nativity scene and work for peace.
“I also greet the group of Mediterranea Saving Humans, who are here, and who go out to sea to save the poor people fleeing slavery in Africa. They do a great job, they save a lot of people,” said Pope Francis at the end of his message to the General Audience. (MTV)
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
