Pope Francis invites you to live a sober and humble Christmas with the people of Ukraine “in your heart”

The Pope Francisco invited this Wednesday to live Christmas with sobriety and humility and save to send aid to Ukrainians “who are suffering so much” from the war.

“Let’s have a more sober Christmas, with humbler gifts, let’s send what we save to the Ukrainian people in need. They suffer a lot, they go hungry, they feel the cold. And many die because there are no doctors or nurses on hand.” he assured at the end of the general audience in the Paul VI room of the Vatican.

“Let’s not forget: Christmas, yes. At peace with the Lord, yes. But with the Ukrainians in the heart. Let us make this concrete gesture for them”, urged.

“Let us renew our closeness to the martyred Ukrainian people, persevering in fervent prayer for these brothers and sisters of ours who suffer so much. Brothers and sisters, I tell you: there is so much suffering in Ukraine, so much, so much.”, explained.

The pope, who has tirelessly advocated for peace since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, he has addressed the issue in almost all of his speeches.
