“Brothers and sisters, I tell you that there is a lot of suffering, a lot, a lot in Ukraine… And I’d like to draw some attention to the upcoming Christmas celebration. Celebrating Christmas, arranging a holiday is beautiful. But let’s lower the level of so-called spending on Christmas a little, spend a more modest Christmas, with more modest gifts. And we will send the saved money to the Ukrainian people who need it. There is great suffering, they are starving there and suffering from the cold,” the pontiff said.
The pope prays weekly for Ukrainians and called for a “concrete gesture” addressed to them.
