Pope Francis' prayer at the end of the first public audience after the summer vacation focuses on the many conflicts that have erupted around the world. Clearly, there is a special emphasis on the risk of escalation in the Middle East: "I reiterate my appeal to all parties involved so that the conflict does not spread and that the fire on all fronts ceases immediately", said the Holy Father, "beginning with Gaza, where the humanitarian situation is very serious and unsustainable. I pray that a genuine desire for peace will put an end to conflict, that love will triumph over hatred, and that forgiveness will disarm vengeance". The pontiff also expressed concern for "the martyred Ukraine", Myanmar, and Sudan, as well as the tough situation between ethnic groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan: "May discrimination be eliminated", he said, "especially against women". The Pope's catechesis resumes with a discussion of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, specifically in the work of redemption. The reflection commences with the role of the third person of the Trinity in the birth of Jesus, specifically Mary, who was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Bergoglio further stated, "The Church has taken up this revealed fact and has placed it very early in the heart of her Symbol of faith". Francis elucidated that the "Creed" prayer was born from this point: "It affirms that the Son of God 'became incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary and became man'," emphasizing that it is a "ecumenical act of faith because all Christians profess the same Symbol of faith. The Angelus, one of Catholic piety's daily prayers, was inspired by it".
