Pope Francis reflected on the current state of world affairs Sunday and Monday on his Twitter account, praying for peace as news about the United States’ efforts to garner international support for a military strike on Syria dominated weekend headlines.
Let us pray for peace: peace in the world and in each of our hearts.

We want a peaceful world, we want to be men and women of peace.

How much suffering, how much devastation, how much pain has the use of arms carried in its wake.
