During the Angelus prayer, the Pope invited everyone not to forget the “deeply saddened” Ukrainian brothers and sisters, who spent Christmas “at war, without electricity and without heating”.
(Vatican News Network)After leading the faithful to recite the Angelus on Jan. 8, Pope Francis specifically mentioned mothers in Ukraine and Russia who have lost their children in the brutal war that lasted more than 10 months. The Pope also invited the faithful not to forget our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, who, he said, “suffered a lot because of the war, they spent Christmas in war, without electricity and without heating… They suffered a lot! don’t forget them.”
The Pope focused his attention on the nativity scene, in particular on the Virgin Mary nursing the Holy Child. He did “I think of the mothers of the war victims, the mothers of the soldiers who died in this Ukrainian war. The Ukrainian mothers and the Russian mothers, both lost their children,” he said. “This is the price of war,” the pope said. “We pray for mothers who have lost their children. Whether they are Ukrainian or Russian,” he urged.
