Pope Francis on Sunday appealed for a
Christmas ceasefire on all fronts in the world where war is
being waged.
"Let us continue to pray for peace: in the tormented Ukraine, in
the Middle East, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, now Syria, in
Myanmar, in South Sudan, and everywhere people suffer because of
war and violence", Francis said at the Angelus.
"I appeal to governments and the international community to
arrive at the Christmas celebration with a ceasefire on all war
fronts", said the 87-year-old Argentine pontiff.
