This Sunday, in his message after praying the Angelus from the papal palace in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis asked for peace for the whole world, especially for those peoples suffering from conflicts, and expressed his desire that the religious and faithful kidnapped.

Francisco recalled that today Catholics celebrate the birth of the "Prince of peace" and invoked "the gift of peace for the whole world."

The Supreme Pontiff renewed his call so that on this special date, "the kidnapped people, priests, religious men and women and lay faithful, can be released and return to their homes."

Christmas means for the Christian tradition the birth of Jesus Christ in the city of Bethlehem, and on this important date, the pope's message is always inspiring for believers.
