Women mourn the loss of their family members after Israeli bombardment in al-Maghazi, Gaza Addressing the faithful gathered in St Peter's Square for his Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis invited all those present to implore the Sacred Heart of Jesus"to touch the hearts of those who desire war, so that they may be converted to plans of dialogue and peace".
He emphasised, as he often does, the importance of continuing to pray for peace in Ukraine, Palestine, Israel and Myanmar, as well as in the"many other places where there is so much suffering because of war".
He explained that in various parts of the world,"many of our brothers and sisters suffer discrimination and persecution because of their faith, thereby nurturing the Church". Others, he continued, face a"white-glove" martyrdom: a term the Pope has used since the early years of his pontificate, to indicate a subtle form of persecution, through which Christians are driven away, marginalised, and discriminated against in political and social life.
