My thoughts go especially to the victims of the many conflicts worldwide: Israel and Palestine, Russia and Ukraine, Syria, Lebanon, Western Balkans Region, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Haiti, Myanmar, Sudan, Sahel, Democratic Republic of Congo and Mozambique. Let us pray for all those who have lost their lives and implore the repentance and conversion of the perpetrators of those crimes. May the light of the resurrection illumine our minds and convert our hearts, and make us aware of the value of every human life, which must be welcomed, protected and loved.
Pope Francis
