Men and women of all
religions will gather in Assisi not for a spectacle but to pray
for peace, Pope Francis said before departing for the Umbria
town to take part in the World Day of Prayer for Peace on
Tuesday.
"Today the centre of the world is in Assisi for a day of
prayer, penitence and weeping, because the world is at war,"
said the pope at the Santa Marta guesthouse before leaving for
the event, according to the Vatican newspaper Osservatore
Romano.
