Pope Francis on Thursday knelt to kiss the feet of South Sudan’s previously warring leaders, in a dramatic gesture after an unprecedented retreat at the Vatican. Pope however urged them to not return to a civil war. He also appealed to President Salva Kiir, his former deputy turned rebel leader Riek Machar, and three other vice presidents to respect any peace agreement they signed and commit to forming a unity government in May. “I am asking you as a brother to stay in peace. I am asking you with my heart, let us go forward. “There will be many problems but they will not overcome us. Resolve your problems,” Francis said in improvised remarks. The leaders appeared to be stunned as the 82-year-old pope, helped by aides, knelt with difficulty to kiss the shoes of the two main opposing leaders and several other people in the room. The pope’s words were made even more pressing as anxiety grew in South Sudan over whether Thursday’s coup in neighbouring Sudan could scupper a fragile peace deal that ended South Sudan’s brutal five-year civil war. The Vatican brought together South Sudanese leaders for 24 hours of prayer and preaching inside the pope’s residence in a last ditch attempt to heal bitter divisions a month before the war-ravaged nation is due to set up a unity government. http://www.amagitesblog.com/2019/04/pope-francis-kisses-feet-of-south-sudan-leaders-urges-them-to-maintain-peace.html Cc; Lalasticlala

 I'm not a fan of this gesture, but if it will make them live in peace and unity, I support it  And he needs to come to Nigeria and kiss the feet of Miyetti Allah executives, SARS, and the Nigerian Army. We need peace too, sire  |

This is humility exemplified. The difference between the TRUE FAITH and the faith of the illiterate fake prophet has never been made more evident. 2 Likes |

Wow! This speaks volume. Let's see how the South Sudanese leaders respond: do they allow pride and selfishness get the better of them, or, do they follow peace with all men.... |
