Vatican City, Vatican City - January 22, 2025 Pope Francis explained on Wednesday that yesterday, like every day, he called the parish of the Holy Family in Gaza, whose parish priest is the Argentine priest Gabriel Romanelli, and that ‘they are happy’ and have been able to eat ‘lentils with chicken’ after the truce.

Translate: 1. ‘I want you to know that my heart goes out to the people of Los Angeles who have suffered so much from the fires that have devastated entire neighborhoods and communities. May Our Lady of Guadalupe intercede for all the inhabitants, that they may be witnesses of hope through the strength of the diversity and creativity for which they are known throughout the world. 2. Yesterday I called, as I do every day, the parish in Gaza. They were happy, there were 600 people, parish and school, and they told me: ‘Today we had lentils with chicken’. It's something they were not used to these days, some legumes, something they were happy about. But we pray for peace in many other parts of the world war is always a defeat. Don't forget, war is a defeat. And who benefits from wars? The arms manufacturers, please, let's pray for peace. [Restrictions: Spain, Latin America, or the U.S. Hispanic market]
