The apostolic nuncio to Ukraine stressed the importance of prayer amid Russian attacks on the nation.
Archbishop Visvaldas Kulbokas said in an interview that “when we have this huge, terrible aggression from the Russian side, as Jesus stresses, this aggression is unable to kill our spiritual life, our eternal life. But there is always a challenge that this military aggression could provoke a reaction in our hearts: disbelief, lost hope, anger towards God and our brothers and sisters.”
Archbishop Kulbokas added:
And what do we pray for? We pray for peace. We pray also for the conversion of Russia. At Fatima, Our Lady insisted on that. The conversion of Russia would be a gift from God—conversion to God, to peace, to respecting human beings.
