Pope Francis, while communicating with the pilgrims, urged them to think about what each of them is doing for Ukraine now.
“Let’s not forget the battered Ukrainian people at this time, people that are suffering. I would like to invite you all to ask yourselves a question: what am I doing today for the Ukrainian people? Do I pray? Do I act? Do I try to understand? What do I do today for Ukrainians? Answer that question within your hearts.”
According to the Vatican’s press service, the pontiff said these words impromptu.
Pope Francis also called for prayer for the people of Myanmar, who are suffering from violence and persecution in their country.
Earlier, Pope Francis during the Easter service addressed the Ukrainians. He stated that the prayers for our people are heard all over the world. At the same time, the Pope did not call on Russia to stop the war in Ukraine.
