Francis made some mention of global conflicts in an address published on Sunday. Monday will mark three years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Francis called the anniversary “a painful and shameful occasion for all of humanity.” The pope reiterated support for “the martyred Ukrainian people.”
“I invite you to remember the victims of all armed conflicts,” the pope wrote. “And to pray for the gift of peace in Palestine, Israel, and throughout the Middle East, in Myanmar, in Kivu, and in Sudan.”
