"I ask you to join me in prayers also for suffering Ukraine, Myanmar, and Sudan: may these war-torn peoples find the much-cherished peace as soon as possible," Pope Francis said, resuming his general audience after a July break.
The pontiff also reiterated his call to prevent the expansion of the conflict in the Middle East, and asked for prayer for other nations suffering from war. He also called for united efforts to eliminate discrimination in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
