(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis on Sunday greeted pilgrims from
around the world who were gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for the weekly
Angelus.
The Holy Father had particular greetings for members of the
Ukrainian community who are commemorating “the tragedy of the Holodomor, the
death by starvation provoked by the Stalinist regime with millions of victims.”
Once again, Pope Francis offered his prayers for that
country: “I pray for Ukraine, that the power of the faith might contribute to
healing the wounds of the past and promoting paths of peace.”
