A brief statement to echo what I have already said, especially on Easter Sunday,
in the Urbi et Orbi message. As we all know, there has also been this threat
against all the people of Iran, and this is truly unacceptable. There are issues here
certainly of international law, but even more a moral issue for the good of
the whole, entire people, and I would like to invite everyone to think in their hearts of so many
innocent people, so many children, so many elderly, totally innocent, who would also be victims
of this escalation of a war that already began in the first days. We were saying,
let us return to dialogue, to negotiations, let us try to find how to solve problems without coming to
at this point, instead we are here, we must pray a lot, I would like to invite everyone to pray but also
to look for ways to communicate perhaps with the congresspeople, with the authorities, to say that we do not want war,
we want peace, we are a people who love peace and there is such a great need for peace in the world.
In English I would simply say once again what I said in the Urbi message on Sunday
asking all people of goodwill to always seek peace and not violence, to reject war,
especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war which is continuing to escalate
and which is not resolving anything, in fact we have a worldwide economic crisis, an energy crisis,
a situation in the Middle East of great instability which is only provoking more hatred throughout the
world, so come back to the table, let us talk, let us look for solutions in a peaceful way and
let us remember especially the innocent, children, the elderly, the sick, so many people who have
already become or will become victims of this continued warfare, to remind all that attacks
on civilian infrastructure are against international law but that they are also a
sign of the hatred, the division, the destruction the human being is capable of, we all want to
work for peace, people want peace, I would invite the citizens of all the countries involved to
contact the authorities, political leaders, congressmen to ask them, tell them to work
for peace and to reject war always. Thank you very much.

Una breve dichiarazione per fare ecco a quello che ho già detto specialmente domenica di Pasqua nel messaggio Gruppo Erorbi, come tutti sappiamo c'è stata anche questa minaccia contro tutto il popolo di Iran e questo veramente non è accettabile, qui ci sono questioni certamente di diritto internazionale ma molto di più una questione morale per il bene del popolo completo, intero e vorrei invitare tutti a pensare nel cuore veramente di tanti
innocenti, tanti bambini, tanti anziani, totalmente innocenti che sarebbero anche loro vittime di questa escalation di una guerra che ha cominciato già dai primi giorni dicevamo torniamo al dialogo, negotiations, cerchiamo come risolvere i problemi senza arrivare a questo punto, invece siamo qui, bisogna pregare tanto, vorrei invitare tutti a pregare ma anche a cercare come comunicare forse con i congressisti, con le autorità a dire che non vogliamo la guerra,
vogliamo la pace, siamo un popolo che ama la pace e c'è tanto bisogno di pace nel mondo. In English I would simply say once again what I said in the Urbi message on Sunday asking all people of goodwill to search always for peace and not violence, to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war which is continuing to escalate and which is not resolving anything, in fact we have a worldwide economic crisis, energy crisis,
situation in the Middle East of great instability which is only provoking more hatred throughout the world, so come back to the table, let's talk, let's look for solutions in a peaceful way and let's remember especially the innocent, children, the elderly, the sick, so many people who have already become or will become victims of this continued warfare, to remind all that attacks on civilian infrastructure is against international law but that it is also a
