Five thousand faithful in St. Peter's yesterday morning listened to Pope Francis' words on the occasion of the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, which falls on the very day that the highly anticipated meetings between Cardinal Zuppi and Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, as well as between Zuppi and Maria Llova-Belova, Russia's commissioner for children's rights, are taking place in Moscow. The two face-to-face meetings could anticipate further contacts with Russian authorities to reknit the dialogue for peace in Ukraine. It was precisely of the importance of dialogue that the Pontiff spoke in his homily. After tracing the lives of both saints, the Pontiff recalled the need to detach oneself from "earthly securities, right away, and follow Jesus every day," taking Peter as an example for a "Church-in-sequence," capable of "dialogue with all and become a place of accompaniment, closeness and hope" for all human beings. Pope Francis' appeal to the faithful is to "not tire of praying for peace, especially for the Ukrainian people who are in my heart every day". For the Church today, Pope Francis called for putting the proclamation of the Gospel at the center of its action, "in relationships and in neighborhoods, in civil society," he explained, "in politics, in the whole world, especially where poverty, degradation, marginalization lurk".
