Ukrainian Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk said Monday that Russia’s “cruel, bloody war brought untold suffering and pain to the Ukrainian people.”
Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.ROME — , Archbishop Shevchuk marked the 173rd day of “a full-scale, heavy, bloody war” waged “by an unjust aggressor against our people, our state, and our homeland with his invasion.”
“Our Church wants to be close to you,” he said. “Know that in your hospital bed, in this bed of pain, you are not alone, the Lord God is with you. And your Church, your priests are also nearby.” He also thanked “all those who today accept Ukrainian children for treatment in various medical institutions in Europe and the world, who help with prosthetics [for] those who have lost limbs” as well as “those who send humanitarian cargoes to Ukraine with medicines and other means that can be used today to save human life and alleviate people’s suffering.”
“Let modern medicine and all the means of medical art open generously to those who were injured on Ukrainian soil and need qualified, urgent, medical assistance,” he exhorted.
