00:00Christ, donnez-vous la paix.
00:30The Middle East needs new approaches in order to reject the mindset of revenge and violence,
00:55to overcome political, social, and religious divisions, and to open new chapters in the
01:02name of reconciliation and peace.
01:06The path of mutual hostility and destruction in the horror of war has been traveled too
01:12long with the deplorable results that are before everyone's eyes.
01:18We need to change course.
01:20We need to educate our hearts for peace.
01:32From this square, I pray for the Middle East and all peoples who suffer because of war.
01:40I also offer hopeful prayers for a peaceful solution to the current political disputes
01:46in Guinea-Bissau, nor do I forget the victims and their dear families of the fire in Hong
01:53Kong.
01:54This lands in every respect.
01:56I repeat, have courage.
02:00I especially pray for beloved Lebanon.
02:12I ask the international community once again to spare no effort in promoting processes of
02:21dialogue and reconciliation.
02:22I make a heartfelt appeal to those who hold political and social authority here and in
02:29all countries marked by war and violence.
02:35listen to the cry of your peoples who are calling for peace.
03:05silence
03:06And the
03:15silence
03:18at the end.
