Pascal Bedros, a focolarino from Aleppo writes:“With the ceasefire, a calm night enveloped the whole city of Aleppo. Up to the last moment, no one expected it to go through. It’s a first step towards building dialogue and peace. We thank God and the people of good will for this gift. It was a nice gift for the children who slept a peaceful night in the arms of their parents. This weekend we’ll get together in Aleppo, following a long period in which it was impossible for us to come together and share our life in the spirituality of the Focolare which has kept us going in these long years and also illuminated our social effort.”
The ceasefire in Syria, the first since the beginning of the conflict in 2011, negotiated by Russia and the United States, began at midnight of February 26th.
United Nations special envoy, Staffan De Mistura, announced that peace talks could resume on March 7th if the ceasefire holds.

Anche noi, volontari e volontarie, dell’Italia, ci siamo riuniti per il nostro ritiro in diversi punti della nazione Catania, Bari, Torino. Noi di Torino, anche per la testimonianza di Virgo, vi abbiamo sentiti presenti, e vi abbiamo sempre avuti in cuore. Continuiamo insieme!
Una gioia immensa mi ha invaso il cuore nel conoscere la notizia del cessare del fuoco lì da voi. Continuiamo pregare per il consolidare della Pace! Uno siempre!
