“I learned with pain and concern about a new and even more brutal missile attack on Ukraine that caused deaths and damage to much of civilian infrastructure. Let us pray that the Lord will convert the hearts of those who still bet on war and that the desire for peace reigns in martyrdom Ukraine in order to avoid escalation and open the way to a ceasefire and dialogue,” he said.
A few minutes later, in other comments about Ukraine, the Pope added, “We can pray for Ukraine, saying if you will, ‘Hurry up, Lord.’
