Let's not extinguish hope in hearts of migrants, refugees.
The Pope Francis has said the world must not ' extinguish hope' in hearts of migrants, refugees as he celebrated New Year's Day Mass in St. Peter's Basilica.
The Catholic church designates January 1 as World Peace Day, and Pope Francis noted that this year's focus should be on building a peaceful and welcoming world, particularly for refugees and migrants.
"Let us not extinguish the hope in their hearts. Let us not suffocate their expectations for peace."
Francis called on political, educational, and religious institutions alike to “make the effort to assure refugees and migrants, to everyone, a peaceful future.”
The pope then prayed that people "work in this new year with generosity to realize a world that is more united and welcoming."
