During the Angelus prayer, Pope Francis called on the faithful to pray for peace in the Middle East and Ukraine. In his Mass he remembered the three wise men from the East, described in the Gospel, with whom the Christian proclamation of the faith began.
Francis expressed his solidarity with the families of the victims of the attacks in Iran. The pope said he was praying for the injured.
At least 91 people were killed in attacks in the Iranian city of Kerman last Wednesday.
“Break the wall of incompatibility”
The Pope also mentioned the meeting between his predecessor Paul VI. and the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras in Jerusalem 60 years ago. “They broke through the wall of incompatibility that separated Catholics and Orthodox for centuries,” Francis said.
“Let us learn from the embrace of these two great ones of the Church and continue on the path of Christian unity by praying together, walking together and working together,” he added.
