The pope warns against the “winds of war” in his Easter message

Pope Francis warned in his Easter message: “Let us not allow the winds of war to blow ever stronger over Europe and the Mediterranean,” when evoking the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.

From the balcony of the central loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica for the traditional blessing in the city and the world On Easter Sunday, the pope reviewed the conflicts and evils in the world and affirmed that God “opens the doors of life, those doors that we continually close with the wars that proliferate in the world.”

Francis, who did not attend the Stations of the Cross on Friday to “preserve his health,” appeared in good shape and before the more than 60,000 people gathered in the square, he addressed his words “to the victims of so many conflicts that are ongoing in the world, starting with those of Israel and Palestine, and in Ukraine.

«War is always absurd and a defeat. Let us not allow the winds of war to blow ever stronger over Europe and the Mediterranean. “Do not give in to the logic of weapons and rearmament,” the pope warned.

And he added, “peace is never built with weapons, but by reaching out and opening the heart.”
