05:25We received this news, the death of the Pope Francis, which, yes, is very sad news.
05:37But in the same time, all the people recognized in this sign that he died in Easter, in the resurrection feast.
05:50He recognized, the people recognized a sign of the love of God.
05:58The last call from the Pope Francis was the last Saturday, Saturday of glory.
06:05And he taught us thanks for our prayers and for every scene we made.
06:13In the same time, he asked about the community and he sent his prayers and blessings.
06:20Our desire is the end of this war.
06:27The last appeal from the Pope Francis was on Sunday in the Vatican, from the Vatican.
06:36And he asked to finish this war and to allow, in spite of the liberation of all the people,
06:47to give the permission to receive the humanitarian help.
06:52We pray for all. We pray for peace.
06:56And the church, every time, in any time, in any circumstances, is with the suffering people.
