Every day of May, let us pray together the Rosary for peace. My thought goes to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol’, “Mary’s City”. I suffer and weep thinking of the sufferings of the Ukrainian people, and, in particular, the weakest, the elderly and the children. I beg you, let us not surrender to the logic of violence, to the perverse spiral of weapons. May the path of dialogue and peace be taken!
