Pray For Peace In Ukraine
“This is a question of life and death, as nostalgia for an empire lost has led to senseless slaughter and immense suffering throughout Ukraine,” said the22 January statementsigned by all five Ukrainian Catholic bishops in the United States. Ukrainian Catholic bishops in the U.S. asked Catholics to pray, be informed, and donate to help those affected by Ukraine’s humanitarian crisis. On Friday U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and warned of a “swift, severe” response if Russia invades Ukraine after massing troops near its border. "Those who pursue their interests by damaging others are in contempt of his vocation as a man, because we were all created as brothers," the pope said.
In a statement Jan. 24, Catholic bishops in Ukraine and Poland cited former popes, papal encyclicals and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to show Catholic teaching that war is never the answer to problems. “Whoever pursues his own goals to the detriment of others, despises his own vocation as a man, because we have all been created brothers,” he said on Sunday at the end of the Angelus. May the prayers and supplications that today rise up to heaven touch the minds and hearts of world leaders, so that dialogue may prevail and the common good be placed ahead of partisan interests. President Joe Biden told Russia's Vladimir Putin an hour-long call that the West would respond decisively to any invasion of Ukraine, adding such a step would produce widespread suffering and isolate Moscow. WASHINGTON — A Navy nuclear engineer pleaded guilty Monday to passing information about American nuclear-powered warships to someone he thought was a representative of a foreign government but who was actually an undercover FBI agent. MOSCOW — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Thursday the Ukraine crisis has grown into “the most dangerous moment” for Europe in decades, while his top diplomat held icy talks with her Moscow counterpart who said the Kremlin won’t accept lectures from the West.
The focus is always on bringing to the forefront Assam’s latest news, news live from ground zero, breaking news of Northeast, Assam news headlines, and quality stories that reflect the culture and ways of life of the people in the region. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden told Russia’s Vladimir Putin that invading Ukraine would cause “widespread human suffering” and that the West was committed to diplomacy to end the crisis but “equally prepared for other scenarios,” the White House said Saturday. It offered no suggestion that the hourlong call diminished the threat of an imminent war in Europe. The pope’s appeal for Ukraine came after he led the weekly recitation of the Angelus, a traditional Marian prayer, from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square. The pope expressed “concern” for the Ukrainian people and the possibility of “wider repercussions” across Europe and the world if a Russian invasion occurs.

In the name of the churches we serve, we join our voices in solidarity with those of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches in pleading for an end to military aggression in that land. We call on all of those involved—whether governments, movements, or individuals—to repent of aggression and violence, and turn instead to the way of peace through dialogue.

They are a people who have suffered; they have suffered from hunger, suffered from much brutality and they deserve peace.
"Today, too, we want to make it clear that any war is a tragedy and can never be an adequate means of solving international problems,ˮ they wrote. They pointed out that "totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century led the world to the tragic experience of war and political terror while ignoring the authority of God." Meanwhile, Britain said it was withdrawing some staff and dependants from its embassy in Ukraine, a day after the United States said it was ordering diplomats' family members to leave the country.
"Let us pray in silence," he added, followed by about 30 seconds of quiet prayer with the crowd. The prayer was attended by a Bishop representing the Latin Catholic Church and one representing the Greek-Catholic Church, along with the Bishop of the Armenian Orthodox Church and other Orthodox and Protestant representatives, together with civil authorities. Since 2014, in fact, from the outbreak of war in Donbas, every month the Community of Sant'Egidio calls for a time of Prayer for Peace, which on this occasion has taken on a special solemnity. "I mean, I was ready to cry when I went in because the news is so terrifying," Gajecky said. May Mary, the Mother of God, to whom the Ukrainian people have deep devotion, hold them in her embrace of love, mercy and protection.
Ukraine, which has a population of 44 million people, borders Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Belarus, and Russia. The pope urged people not to forget the more than five million people who died in Ukraine during World War II. Commemorate the day Jesus died for our sins with these sacred passages from the Bible. A draft bill that would ban the wearing of the hijab in sporting competitions will pass on to France's National Assembly after the Senate on Wednesday declined to vote on the legislation. The broader bill is devoted to "democratising sport", including how the big sporting federations are governed. The move is, however, opposed by President Emmanuel Macron's centrist government and its allies who command a majority in the National Assembly, which has the final vote.
The move came just 23 years after Ukraine gained independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union, of which it had been a part. The threat marks what the bishops termed an escalation of "the eight-year Kremlin-led war" since Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.
