Reflecting on the upcoming Christmas season, Pope Francis warned that if “desensitization and indifference to the horrors of war prevail, all of humanity is defeated.”“I hope that the glimmer of peace that has emerged can lead to a ceasefire on all other fronts,” Pope Francis stated after praying the Angelus on December 1st. He was referring to the ceasefire agreement reached between Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel to end 13 months of fighting.
Building upon this, the Pope also challenged the Lebanese people to elect a president. “As soon as possible,” he encouraged, “so that institutions can return to normal functioning, proceed with the necessary reforms, and ensure the country remains an example of peaceful coexistence among different religions.”
However, both Israel and Hezbollah accuse the other of breaching the ceasefire agreement as there have been reports the Israeli air force struck a Hezbollah facility one day after the ceasefire was signed.Pope Francis continued to express his concern for other areas of the world in conflict, including Gaza, Syria, and Ukraine. He shared his deep concern for the release of Israeli hostages and petitioned once again that “humanitarian aid to the exhausted Palestinian population” be available.
Speaking of the approaching winter season, the Pope remembered “martyred Ukraine” in the midst of a conflict that has been raging for almost three years. He called the combination of war and cold temperatures “tragic” and underscored that for the millions of displaced people, winter will be difficult.
