(ANSA) - VATICAN CITY, MARCH 13 - "In the name of God, stop this massacre".
It is Pope Francis' heartfelt appeal to the Angelus during which he dedicated strong words against the war in Ukraine.
"In the face of the barbarism of the killing of children, innocent people and defenseless civilians, there are no strategic reasons that hold, there is only to stop the unacceptable armed aggression before it reduces cities to cemeteries", the Pope said again underlining: "God is only God of peace, he is not the God of war and those who support violence profane his name. Now we pray in silence for those who suffer and for God to convert hearts to a firm will for peace ".
