Ukraine: “Our Heart Must Burn With Love and Compassion”

Once again I wish to reference this courageous and prophetic Archbishop, his Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, head of the Ukrainian Greek (Byzantine) Catholic Church. He comments in this sermon about recent days, including “that Frightful Friday” (when the U.S. betrayed Ukraine, publicly humiliated its leader, and placed its trust in “the Russian ungodly aggressor”). As Archbishop Shevchuk has made clear elsewhere, this is a conflict between truth and LIES. Still, he places his hope in the love of Christ, reminding everyone that “regardless of all human agreements—successful or unsuccessful—the Lord has His plan of rescue and salvation of Ukraine.”
