Pope Francis urges people worldwide to be open to discussion


(MENAFN) On Saturday, Pope Francis urged people and world rulers to be open to discussion as he celebrated the second Christmas holiday during the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the pope statement from the central balcony of St Peter’s Basilica in The Vatican, “let us ask him for the strength to be open to dialogue. On this festive day, let us implore him to stir up in the hearts of everyone a yearning for reconciliation and fraternity. Let us now turn to him in prayer.”

Expressing that the globe keeps on going through a vast number of battles, catastrophes, as well as disagreements, he stated: “We have become so used to them that immense tragedies are now being passed over in silence.”
