POPE DEPLORES VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM, PRAYS FOR VICTIMS


VATICAN CITY, MAR 8, 2004 (VIS) - Prior to reciting the Angelus today, the Holy Father told the pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square that "during the week of spiritual exercises in the Vatican, I did not forget the painful situations existing in several African countries, in the Middle East, and above all in the Holy Land and Iraq."

"These are our brothers and sisters who are suffering from deplorable acts of violence and terrorism that can only worsen the living conditions of those dear populations. While I pray for them, and ask you for prayers, I would like once again to ask everyone to undertake the path of pardon and reconciliation."
