Christmas Address: Pope Prays For Peace In Nigeria, Condemns Religious Violence by lalasticlala(m): 4:22pm On Dec 25, 2014 |
Pope Francis has denounced the “brutal persecution” of religious and ethnic minorities, in his traditional Christmas Day address. In his second “Urbi et Orbi” – to the city and the world – Christmas message, the pontiff highlighted the plight of victims of conflict in Syria and Iraq. “Too many people are being held hostage or massacred” in Nigeria, he added. Pope Francis also urged dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians and condemned Taliban attacks in Pakistan. Tens of thousands of people turned out on St Peter’s Square to hear the Argentine Pope deliver his annual message. He said Christians in Iraq and Syria had endured conflict for too long, and “together with those belonging to other ethnic and religious groups, are suffering a brutal persecution”. “May Christmas bring them hope, as indeed also to the many displaced persons, exiles and refugees, children, adults and elderly, from this region and from the whole world,” the Pope said. In his Christmas Day address, he also asked for peace in Ukraine, Nigeria, in Libya, South Sudan and other parts of Africa. He called for comfort for the families of the 132 children killed in a Taliban attack in Pakistan last week – and for the victims of the Ebola epidemic. On Wednesday he made a surprise telephone call to refugees in a camp near Irbil, in Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region. “You are like Jesus on Christmas night. There was no room for him either,” he told them. Advances in Iraq by Islamic State militants have forced tens of thousands of Christians and people from other religious minorities to flee, reports the BBC. http://newtelegraphonline.com/christmas-address-pope-prays-for-peace-in-nigeria-condemns-religious-violence/ 14 Likes 1 Share

Faith without works is useless... James 2:26 Finger-pointing,binding, casting, loosing and binding won't singlehandedly guarantee our peaceful co-existence. We must all make conscious and concerted efforts to bring about the peace we so badly need.... 1 Like |

If only God could touch their hearts from killing innocent lives... Dear God and our Lord Jesus Christ, please carry all the victim's souls into Heaven who have been killed by BH, and offer healing to the survivors. May You comfort their loved ones, families and friends and console them during their lost and suffering. In Jesus name, Amen! 4 Likes |

I'll start taking these peole serious when they start praying for the USA. Africa and the middle east ain't the only one in dire need of prayer. Pray for racism and police brutality to end in America. |
