As the first anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches, Churches in Europe and in Ukraine are calling on the faithful to intensify their prayers for peace.
The Council of Bishops’ Conferences of Europe has invited its members to celebrate a special Mass for the victims and for the restoration of peace, on March 10.The celebration “will offer an opportunity to renew our closeness to the Ukrainian people and to entrust our yearning for peace to the Lord”, reads a statement by the Italian Episcopal Conference , that has joined the initiative.
According to the Italian Bishops, a diplomatic solution is urgent “to put an end to an international crisis which is aggravated by the nuclear threat”. “One year after the Russian invasion of an independent state, we want to once again repeat our resolute ‘No’ to all forms of violence and oppression, our ’war never again’”, continues the statement.“While on the one hand diplomatic action to break the sterile logic of confrontation is urgently needed, on the other all believers must feel involved in the construction of a peaceful, just and supportive world”, CEI says.
“Lent reminds us of the value of prayer, fasting and charity, the only real weapons capable of transforming people's hearts and making us ‘all brothers’”, concludes the statement. “By asking for the conversion of the heart, so that a renewed culture of peace may be built, we will bring the Easter buds for which we are preparing into the world.
