• Pope Francis prays for peace in Ukraine

  Tue 01 Mar 2022

  Pope Francis: “I invite everyone to make March 2, Ash Wednesday, a day of prayer and of fasting for peace in Ukraine.”

   

  Pope Francis has joined the international chorus of concern over tensions stemming from a Russian troop buildup near its border with Ukraine, urging dialogue to resolve strains and avoid armed conflict.

  The Roman Catholic pontiff told an audience of thousands at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican on December 12 that "weapons are not the path to take."

  He said he was praying for "dear Ukraine, for all its churches and religious communities and for all of its people, so that tensions there are resolved through a serious international dialogue and not with weapons."
