On August 15, for the Feast of the Assumption, a special Mass will be celebrated in the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Odessa, Ukraine.

As we well know, this period of the war in Ukraine is very difficult and it is painful to hear all the testimonies concerning this conflict. I just heard from a professor who lived in Mariupol: everything has been lost there. The situation is dramatic: there are so many atrocities, tortures, and even attacks purposely made against ambulances, hospitals, and children: such atrocities that there is a human temptation to get angry and replace inner peace with hatred.

We know that the Holy Father repeats his closeness in prayer and his appeals to all of Christendom and the world to pray for Ukraine and for peace: his heart is with the suffering Ukrainian people. There are displaced families here in Ukraine who tell me how difficult it is to live like that. They try to understand if it is possible to return to their homes, saying,"We are going back there." And this is even though there are often families who have been sleeping in their cars for months. They don't want to go abroad and they always hope they can go back home.
