Vatican City, March 27 (EFE) .- Pope Francis asked today to reflect on the many "hungry children" in the world and denounced the fact that "food is not private property", during of St. Peter's Square
The Argentine pontiff continued his reflections on the prayer of the Lord's Prayer and stopped on the following sentence: "Give us our daily bread".

"We think of children in war-torn countries: starving children from Yemen, hungry children from Syria, starving children from many countries without bread, in southern Sudan." We weigh these children and when we think of them together, we say the prayer aloud: "Father, give us today the bread of every day," he said.

He recalled the value of these words in parts of the world where there is nothing to eat.

"How many mothers and fathers, even today, sleep with the torment of not having enough bread tomorrow for their children! We imagine that this prayer is recited not in the safety of a comfortable apartment, but in the precariousness of a room in which we adapt, where there is not enough housing to live, "he said.

Francisco stressed that the need to "feel in my hunger" also the hunger of many who still lacks what is needed today.

Because, he stressed, "food is not a property, we enter well in his head, but a providence to share with the grace of God".

In greetings in Spanish, the Pope prayed the Lord "to not make us forget our daily bread and help us understand that it is not a private property, but that, helped by his grace, this 39 is a providence to share and an opportunity to go to the meeting of others, especially the poor and the needy ".
