Pope prays for Nigeria, S’Sudan
« on: December 26, 2013, 07:24:31 AM »


Pope Francis
Pope Francis in his first Christmas Eve Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, on Wednesday, prayed for Nigeria and other countries contending with terrorists’ attacks.

In his Christmas message,  the Pope specifically asked God to defend Nigeria’s innocent and defenceless people.

Other countries the Pope prayed for are South Sudan, Syria, Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Philippines, and Democratic Republic of Congo.

He said the countries had been torn apart by a spiral of violence and poverty, where so many people had become homeless, lacking water, food and the necessities of life.

He said, “Prince of Peace, in every place turn hearts aside from violence and inspire them to lay down arms and undertake the path of dialogue. Look upon Nigeria, rent by constant attacks which do not spare the innocent and defenceless.
