Pope Francis has remembered the Kenyan Victims of Terrorists attack calling religious leaders to be prophets of peace, peacemakers who invite others to live in peace, harmony and mutual respect.
Pope Francis was speaking on Thursday morning during his meeting with the religious leaders, where he advocated for peaceful co-existence among Kenyans and good governance to reduce radicalization among the youth.
“I know that the barbarous attacks on Westgate Mall, Garissa University College and Mandera are fresh in your minds. All too often, young people are being radicalized in the name of religion to sow discord and fear, and to tear at the very fabric of our societies,” he said adding that “How important it is that for us to be seen as prophets of peace, peacemakers who invite others to live in peace, harmony and mutual respect!”
He prayed that the Almighty God may touch the hearts of those who engage in this violence, and grant his peace to all victims, their families and all the communities.
