Reflections on life, meaning and purpose

After meeting Ukrainian children, Pope Francis denounces ‘monstrosity’ of war (AFP)

At the conclusion of his March 30 general audience, Pope Francis said, “And with this greeting to the children, let us also think again about this monstrosity of war and renew our prayers for this savage cruelty that is war to stop.”

These words, spoken by the Pope, were included in the Vatican press office’s Italian text of the general audience, but were not included in the English translation.
