Six months into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Catholic prelates in the bombarded country hope to rally the spirits of Ukrainian citizens, while urging world leaders to remember their plight, the Religious News Service website reports today (August 17, 2022).
Ukraine is standing, Ukraine is fighting, Ukraine is praying," said Greek Catholic Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk in his message for Ukraine on August 15, which also marks the Catholic feast of the Virgin Mary's assumption into heaven.
Shevchuk has written daily bulletins from Ukraine, where he writes the faithful face "a full-scale, heavy, bloody war" launched by an "unjust aggressor."
