Pope Francis broke down in tears as he prayed for peace in Ukraine during a traditional Christmas visit to the Spanish Steps in Rome.
His voice began to tremble as he referred to the suffering of the Ukrainians.
“I would like to have conveyed to you the thanks of the Ukrainian people…” the Pope began to say with a trembling voice. For a few minutes he was silent as he could not hide his emotion, and then added:
“…to the Ukrainian people for the peace they have been asking the Lord for so long. On the contrary, I must present to you the appeals of the children, the elderly, the mothers and fathers and the young people of this martyred land, which suffers so much.
The crowd, to which he listened attentively and among whom was the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, applauded when they realized he could not speak and saw him crying.
Later, Pope Francis tweeted that “peace is possible, disarmament is possible.”
Let us entrust to the intercession of the Mother of God the universal desire for peace, in particular for tormented Ukraine, which suffers greatly. With God’s help, peace is possible? disarmament is possible. May Our Lady help us to convert ourselves towards God’s plans.
