Pope Francis on Wednesday prayed for
the "cruelly" abused Ukrainian people.
Speaking at the end of his weekly general audience, Francis
directed a "thought for martyred Ukraine which is suffering so
much, that poor people so cruelly tried".
He added: "this morning I was able to speak with Cardinal
Krajewski, on his return from Ukraine, and he told me terrible
things".
Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, Prefect of the new Dicastery for the
Service of Charity, recently returned from his fourth trip to
Ukraine at the Pope's behest, and informed the Pope of the
"terrible" situation of things there.
"Let us think of Ukraine and pray for this martyred people,"
Pope Francis said.
