Pope at URBI ET Orbi: No more arms operations!

Sebastian Samson Ferrari – Vatican City

These were the brief words of Pope Francis like Sunday, April 20, 2025, to the central hostel of Basilica San Pedro for “Europe and others” (from the city of Rome to the entire world) after the sacred privileges chaired by Cardinal Angelo Komasteri, by Pontif’s decision. I read the traditional Pascal message this year by Mongo Diego Ravili, the master of liturgical celebrations in the ink.

This gesture, full of hope and faith, did not celebrate the celebration only by the resurrection of Christ, but also a testimony of his strength and pastoral dedication, despite the material adversity he faced in recent weeks. Another moment of particularly influential occurred in the end, when Francisco climbed to Papamoville and toured Plaza de San Pedro, where the pilgrims greeting many attendees, happy to see him.

The bishop of Rome confirmed that “from the empty grave of Jerusalem, the sudden advertisement comes to us: Jesus, the crucified”, is not here, ((LC 24.6). It is not in the grave, it is the living! He also emphasized that “love dominates hatred. Dark light. The truth overcame the lie. Forgive revenge. Evil has not disappeared from our history, he will remain until the end, but he no longer dominated, he no longer has strength for those who welcomed the grace of this day. “

When going to those who suffer from pain and anguish, Francisco told them that “their silent screams have heard, their tears were collected, and one was not lost!”

The Holy Father recalled that the resurrection of Jesus is the basis of hope and that from this event, waiting no longer an illusion. “By the crucified Christ and rose, hope is not disappointed.I hope you will not disappoint you (See RM 5.5)! It is not elaborate, but committed; Francisco wrote:

A call for global peace and solidarity

The Pope shouted: “How much will to death we see every day in the many conflicts that affect different parts of the world. How much violence we often imagine in captivity, against women or children. How many contempt for the weakest, marginalized and immigrants are.

In this context, the ink expressed his desire to have hope again and “to trust in others, even those who are not close to us or come from distant lands, with customs, lifestyles, ideas and customs different from those most familiar with us; well, we are all children of God.”

Baz for Palestine and Israel and all

Francisco insisted: “I would like, hope that peace is possible.” Therefore, he wished this from the Holy grave – the Church of the Holy Sepulcher – where Easter will be celebrated this year on the same day by Catholics and Orthodoxy, “The Light of Peace on all the Holy Land and the whole world radiates.” Once again, the bishop of Rome was close to the suffering of Christians in Palestine and Israel, as well as all the Israeli people and the entire Palestinian people.

Moreover, Bergolio himself manifested anxious about “the increasing climate of anti -Semitism that spreads all over the world.” At the same time, Francisco is in mind the Christian community in Gaza, “where the terrible struggle continues to die and destroy, and causes a dramatic and unbearable humanitarian crisis,” said Clarity.

After that, the successor of Pedro urged the warring parties to stop fire, firing the hostages and helping the population, “This is hungry and looks at the future of peace.”

Conflicts in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and South Caucasus

In his speech, Francisco called for prayer for Christian societies in Lebanon and Syria, “which yearn for stability and participation in the fate of their countries.” In this line, he urged the entire church to accompany him with interest with Christian prayer in the Middle East. In addition, he referred to the people of Yemen, who live one of the worst “long” humanitarian crises in the world because of the war and asked to “search for solutions through constructive dialogue.”

The Holy Father predicted that “Christ, who was not proven without peace from peace to the martyr Ukraine and encourages all the relevant actors to continue efforts aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace.” He even referred to the southern Caucasus and encouraged prayer “so that a final peace agreement is reached between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which leads to the reconciliation required in the region, soon.

Hope in the Pope is also that Nour Al -Farah “inspires the purposes of Concordia in the western Balkans and supports political actors in an attempt to prevent tensions and crises from being sharp, as well as to the region’s allies in rejecting dangerous and disturbing behaviors.”

In another section of the text, Francisco asks for peace and comfort for the victims of the African peoples for attacks and conflicts, “especially in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Sudan and South Sudan, and they carry those who suffer from those who suffer from tensions in their places cannot master their places.”

“Peace is not possible without real disarmament”

The Pope explained that “the demand that every person must provide his defense cannot become a public profession when it is upgraded.” Francisco added that Easter light calls us to demolish the barriers that create division and invited us to take care of each other. With this spirit of solidarity, he asked the Burmese people, which for years to be tormented by armed conflicts, which face courage and patience the consequences of the devastating earthquake in the epic, which caused the death of thousands of people and caused the suffering of many survivors, among orphans and the elderly. “

He said: “Let’s pray, for the victims and their loved ones, and we thank all the heated volunteers who perform relief activities. Announcing high fire by the actors participating in this country is a sign of hope for all Myanmar.”

The successor of Pedro took this occasion to summon those who perform political responsibilities not to benefit from the logic of fear that is isolated, “but the use of available resources to help the needy, combat hunger and enhance initiatives that enhance development.”

Francisco shouted that “the principle of humanity is never weakened as a axis of our daily actions,” and given the harsh conflicts that affect defenseless civilians, and attacking schools, hospitals and humanitarian workers, the code was explicit: “We cannot allow ourselves to forget that what is in the sight is not a safe goal, but people with spirit and spirit.”

At the end of his message, on the occasion of the ordinary jubilee of 2025, the Holy Father said: “Easter also aims to launch war prisoners and political prisoners.”
