Speaking during his weekly general audience, Pope Francis declared on Wednesday that the threat of war in Ukraine has caused “great pain in my heart.”
In his first public comments since tensions escalated in the region, the pontiff called on politicians to seriously examine their conscience before God about the actions they are taking, although he stopped short of naming specific individuals.
The Pope urged leaders on all sides to abstain from any further decisions that could cause suffering for individuals, declaring upcoming Ash Wednesday, on March 2, an international day of fasting and prayer for peace.
