The Pope, so many young people die in war, it's madness - Last hour. Today they brought me a rosary and a Gospel of a young soldier who died at the front, he prayed with that.

Let us pray to the Lord so that we give the grace to overcome this madness of war which is always a defeat. The Pope said this at the end of the general audience by making this appeal in person. Reproduction reserved © Copyright ANSA, 2014.
