This is a very perilous time in the world right now, and Pope Francis is correct in calling for prayers and peace for Ukraine, because that will translate to the whole world. If a conflict between Russia and NATO forces breaks out with an invasion of Ukraine, it will draw all of the worlds nations into a conflict we can’t have right now. As reported by the AP:
Francis called for a day of prayer for peace on Wednesday so that political talks may focus on ‘human brotherhood instead of partisan interests’
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday expressed his concern over “rising tensions” in Ukraine that threaten peace and called for political talks that put at the center “human brotherhood instead of partisan interests.”
“I am following with concern the rising tensions that threaten to inflict a new blow to peace in Ukraine and put in question the security in Europe with even wider repercussions,” Francis said.
Francis called for a day of prayer for peace on Wednesday so that political talks may focus on “human brotherhood instead of partisan interests,” adding “those who pursue their own goals to the detriment of others despise their own human vocation because we have all been created as brothers.”
