He urged the international community to work to end the war in Ukraine and 'all conflict and bloodshed in the world, beginning with Syria, which still awaits peace.'
VATICAN CITY — In an Easter message highlighting hope, Pope Francis on Sunday invoked prayers for both the Ukrainian and Russian people, praised nations which welcome refugees and called on Israelis and Palestinians wracked by the latest surge in deadly violence to forge a"climate of trust."
Since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine in February 2022, Francis has repeatedly called for the fighting to end and sought prayers for the"martyred" Ukrainian people. Francis also prayed for those who lost loved ones in an earthquake that struck Syria and Turkey two months ago, claiming tens of thousands of lives.
With migrants risking their lives in smugglers' unseaworthy boats in hopes of reaching Europe, the pope lamented that Tunisia's people, particularly the young, struggle with social and economic hardship.

Pope Francis returns to public eye for Easter vigil MassPope Francis is presiding over Easter vigil Mass at the Vatican. The service Saturday night in St. Peter's Basilica began in darkness, then dramatically was bathed in light, after a procession up the center aisle by candle-carrying cardinals and other churchmen. The candlelight reflects the Christian belief that Jesus rose from his death by crucifixion. The night before, Rome's unseasonably chilly weather convinced the pope to skip the traditional Good Friday cross procession at the Colosseum. The 86-year-old pope is recuperating from bronchitis, which saw him recently hospitalized. On Sunday, tens of thousands of faithful are expected to join the pope in St. Peter's Square for Easter Mass.
