The cardinal added that the barbaric atrocities happening in the Middle East, Israel, Palestine and the Gaza Strip are painful. He also recalled the request for peace made by Pope Francis during the midday prayer on Sunday. The cardinal also recalled the decisions of the governments of the world countries to end the aggression and establish peace.
The Cardinal invites everyone to pray together for the end of the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. We are in a state where we cannot even imagine how the war that has broken out will continue and what will be its end, the Cardinal underlined that the whole world is turning into a madhouse.
The cardinal said that we rely only on force, violence and conflict, but real problems must be solved in different ways. He praised the services provided by Europe for such efforts.
