“Pope Francis called for a ceasefire on all war fronts in his Sunday Angelus prayer ahead of Christmas, condemning the ‘cruelty’ of bombing schools and hospitals in Ukraine and Gaza. ‘Let the weapons fall silent and let the Christmas carols ring out!’ Francis said, delivering his Sunday blessing from indoors due to a cold and as a precaution ahead of a busy Christmas period. ‘Let us pray that at Christmas there will be a ceasefire on all war fronts, in Ukraine, in the Holy Land, throughout the Middle East and throughout the world,’ the pope said.” (12/22/24)
