Pope Francis makes an emotional plea for peace -- in Saint Peter's Square Sunday.<br/> <br />Breaking from his script after delivering his weekly Angelus, the pope makes a direct appeal for fighting to end.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Italian) HEAD OF ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, POPE FRANCIS, SAYING:<br/> <br />"Never war, never war. I am thinking, above all, of children who are deprived of the hope of a worthwhile life, a future. Dead children, wounded children, mutilated children, orphaned children, children whose toys are things left over from war, children who don't know how to smile. Please stop. I ask you with all my heart, it's time to stop. Stop, please!<br/> <br />While the pope made no direct reference to the situation in the Gaza Strip, his comments came as Israel and Hamas resumed fighting after a temporary ceasefire.<br/> <br />More than 1,000 people, mostly civilians -- including dozens of children -- have been killed in the conflict.
