JERUSALEM: Pope Francis on Sunday called for an end to violence in annexed east Jerusalem, where clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police have left scores of Palestinians injured.
After delivering his Regina Caeli prayer Sunday from the window overlooking St Peter’s Square, the Pope said he was “following with particular concern the events that are happening in Jerusalem”.
“I pray so that this might be a place of encounter and not violent clashes, a place of prayer and of peace,” he said.
“I invite everyone to seek shared resolutions so that the multi-religious identity and multi-culture of the holy city might be respected and so that fraternity might prevail”.

CWN Editor s Note: In his May 9 Regina Caeli address, Pope Francis reflected on John 15:9-17, the Gospel reading of the day day. “The love Jesus gives us is the same with which the Father loves Him: pure love, unconditional, freely given love,” Pope Francis said. “May the Virgin Mary help us to abide in Jesus’ love and to grow in love for everyone, witnessing to the joy of the Risen Lord.”
