In the general audience, the Pope spoke about the war in Ukraine and asked to pray that “the rulers understand that buying arms and making arms is not the solution to the problem. The solution is to work together for peace.
“In war all is lost, all, there is no victory in war, all is defeated. May the Lord send his Spirit to make us understand that war is a defeat for humanity” and “to free us from this need for selfdestruction,” said the Pope. “The news of displaced people, people fleeing, dead people , wounded, many soldiers who have fallen on both sides are death reports. Let’s ask the Lord of life, may he deliver us from this death of war,” added the pope, asking to pray with him on March 25, when he will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Then he spoke about the importance of the relationship between the older and younger generations and confided: “I can give a personal testimony. I learned the hatred and anger of war from my grandfather who made the Piave 14 and passed on this anger towards me about war because he told me about the suffering of war and you can’t learn that from books, you learn that by passing it on from grandparents to grandchildren.
Ukrainian Ambassador: “We will do everything possible for the Pope in Kyiv” “We very much appreciate the role of the Holy See and the words of the Pope on Ukraine. We will do everything we can to organize Pope Francis’ visit to Kyiv, but not everything depends on us, we have to organize security, we will do everything possible. . This was stated by Ukrainian Ambassador to Italy Yaroslav Melnyk, who was interviewed by Sky Tg24, adding that a ceasefire should be reached first to ensure the safety of the pope.
