CWN Editor's Note: “And unfortunately, in strike contrast to the Easter message, wars are continuing, and they continue to sow death in horrific ways,” Pope Francis said on April 16. “Let us grieve over these atrocities and let us pray for the victims, asking God that the world might never more have to experience the shock of violent death by the human hand, but the awe of the life that He gives and renews with his grace!”
