Romae, die ultimo mensis Martii,  Anno Domini 2013

 URBI ET ORBI

 Hominibus bonae voluntatis pax sit in terra

Priore anno, in sua oratione pascuali in foro Vaticano pro multitudine centum milium fidelium, Papa Benedictus XVI incitavit pacem in terra atque finem caedis, praecipue in Syria. Tunc numerus hominum in Syria concisorum novem milia fuit.

Hodie, in sua oratione pascuali in foro Vaticano pro multitudine centum milia fidelium, Papa Franciscus I incitavit pacem in terra atque finem caedis, praecipue in Syria. Nunc numerus hominum in Syria concisorum septuaginta milia est.

Quae cum ita sint, incitatio Papae quid valet?
