A Lenten First Friday, mindful of prayer and fast for the Ukrainian people under attack

“The one who makes war forgets humanity. He doesn’t look at the concrete life of people, but he puts before this all the partisan interests of power. He entrusts himself to the diabolical and perverse logic of arms, which is farthest from the will of God, and he distances himself from the ordinary people who want peace.”  Pope Francis on Ukraine under attack.
