Milan, 26 July (LaPresse) – “I also renew my appeal regarding the situation throughout the Middle East, where an intensification of military operations has brought back violence and destruction, seriously endangering the lives of numerous civilians and exacerbating the shortage of drinking water and electricity. From the depths of my heart, I urge all parties involved to suspend attacks and urgently reopen channels for dialogue and diplomacy, so as to achieve, as soon as possible, the peace so dearly desired for the entire region.” These were the words of Pope Leo XIV at the end of the Angelus from Piazza della Libertà in Castel Gandolfo. “Let us continue to pray for all the peoples of the world who are suffering because of war: may the Lord touch the hearts and enlighten the minds of those in positions of responsibility so that reconciliation and peace may soon be achieved,” added the Pontiff.
