I want to appeal to the international community: let's not be silent, let's do everything so that at least humanitarian convoys can get to those cities that are now in the clutches of a ruthless enemy. His Beatitude Sviatoslav, Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, called for this in his daily military address on the tenth day of Russia's war against Ukraine.
Caritas is on the lookout for migrants: hot lunches and essentials
In the parish of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Ivano-Frankivsk, held an all-day prayer for peace in Ukraine
A priest from Kherson spoke about the situation in the city and pastoral care during the war
According to him, on the tenth day of this terrible, bloody war, our thoughts are especially pouring to our cities in the north, east and south of Ukraine.
Ukraine is struggling. Ukraine is praying. Ukraine serves.
"That night our thoughts drifted to Kharkiv," said the Primate, "where almost 20 centimeters of snow fell yesterday, but at night the sounds of enemy aircraft were heard again, and enemy bombs flew to the peaceful city again, bringing death and destruction." Our thoughts drifted to Sumy, because street fights begin there. We pray for the wounded Chernihiv, for the dozens of victims of bombs and missiles. "
But most of all today, our hearts are bleeding for cities that are blocked by the enemy and where a humanitarian catastrophe really begins. "Our thoughts flow to Mariupol, to Volnovakha, to Kherson. The enemy blocks, surrounds large cities, does not allow people to leave them, does not allow to deliver food, and enemy bombs fly over the cities, sowing death. Lord, save your people, "His Beatitude Sviatoslav exhorts.
The head of the Church said that we pray again and again to the Lord for our Ukrainian army, for our girls and boys who cover Ukraine with their breasts, who are dying for the free future of their homeland. God bless our army! God, send the heavenly army of Your angels, your Archangel Michael, to protect, bless, support our army!
He noted that when the enemy bombs the city, many high-rise buildings quickly turn into a cold trap without heat, without light, without water. We have a way to help them, but our help is not allowed there.
"I want to turn to those who can help these people internationally. Let them create humanitarian corridors, let green roads of life be opened, so that civilians can move to a safe place, and humanitarian convoys can bring those people warmth, food and human solidarity, ”the Head of the Church urged.
His Beatitude Sviatoslav thanked our volunteers. "Everyone needs to volunteer at this terrible time. Everyone who stays in peaceful areas. Everyone who guards the Motherland without weapons today. Everyone today must serve his neighbor with his Christian active love, "he said.
The head of the Central Committee once again addressed the world community: “We will do everything to stop this war. God, save Ukraine! God, send people wisdom and reason so that dialogue prevails over war! God bless us all! ”
