Pope Francis in South Korea Seoul, South Korea, Aug 14, 2014 / 02:18 am: In his first public address after arriving in South Korea, Pope Francis called government officials to work for an authentic and far-reaching peace, which requires forgiveness and cooperation. “Peace is not simply the absence of war, but ‘the work of justice,’” the pontiff said Aug. 14, alluding to the words of the prophet Isaiah. “And justice, as a virtue, calls for the discipline of forbearance; it demands that we not forget past injustices but overcome them through forgiveness, tolerance and cooperation,” he continued. “It demands the willingness to discern and attain mutually beneficial goals, building foundations of mutual respect, understanding and reconciliation.” Pope Francis grieved with journalists during his flight to Seoul, Korea for an AP photographer who was killed in Gaza. He said, These are the consequences of war. As I begin my trip, I ask you to join me in praying for Korea and all of Asia. { Pope Francis @ Pontifex 13.08.2014 Courtesy:CNA Please click the below link to like our page Kerala Catholics https://facebook/pages/Kerala-Catholics/1461687764059893?sk=timeline
