A child is seen in a hospital bed after
being injured in a bombing near
Damascus, Syria. “I urge all parties
involved in the conflict to respect
the cease-fire and strengthen talks
underway — the only path that
leads to peace,” Pope Francis said
after reciting the oÉÖáå~=`çÉäá
prayer with pilgrims in St Peter’s
Square on 1st May.

Russia’s Catholic
Church has
announced a joint
project with
Russian Orthodox
leaders to rebuild
churches and
monasteries
destroyed during
the Syrian war.
The move is seen as
a significant
positive outcome
from the pope’s
historic meeting
with Russian
Orthodox Patriarch
Kirill in Cuba, a
spokesman said.
