Through his resurrection, Jesus opens "those doors that continually we shut with the wars spreading throughout the world," he said after celebrat- ing Easter Mass in St. Peter's Square March 31. "Only the risen Christ, by granting us the forgiveness of our sins, opens the way for a renewed world." Seated on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, the pope asked the risen Christ to bring peace in Israel, Palestine and Ukraine and a host of other conflict- ridden regions in the world. "In calling for respect for the principles of international law, I express my hope for a general exchange of all prisoners be- tween Russia and Ukraine," he said. "All for the sake of all!" Pope Francis then appealed to the international community to ensure access of humani- tarian aid to Gaza and called for the "prompt release" of hostages taken during Hamas' attack on Israel Oct. 7 as well as "an immediate cease-fire in the strip." "War is always an absurdity, war is always a defeat," he said, asking that the "strengthen- ing winds of war" do not reach Europe and the Mediterranean. "Let us not yield to the logic of weapons and rearming. Peace is never made with arms, but with outstretched hands and open hearts." The Vatican said some 30,000 people attended the pope's morning Mass and, by noon, there were approximately 60,000 people inside and around St. Peter's Square for his Easter message and blessing "urbi et orbi" (to the city and the world). Pope asks Christ to 'roll away' the stones of war worldwide
