Faced with the horrors being inflicted on the people of the Ukraine one feels deep sympathy and a somewhat impotent solidarity with them under such wanton aggression. This is undoubtedly a situation that requires our prayer and spiritual support.
That underlies an article on Rorate Caeli about the heroic life and ministry of Cardinal Slipyj which can be read at In honor of Ukraine and of Cardinal Josyf Slipyj, at the 130th anniversary of his birth (1892-2022) — by Roberto de Mattei
To help understand something of the background to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the cultural background to the life of the Cardinal and to the ecclesial history of what is now the western Ukraine the illustrated Wikipedia article about its main city which can be read at Lviv - is otherwise Lwow, Lemberg or Lvov - worth perusing as it has many useful links.
Pray for the Ukraine, its people and independence.
