Ecumenical prayer service marks ‘sorrowful occasion’ of one year since Russian invasion of Ukraine

“As one human family, we gather this evening to pray as we mark the sorrowful occasion of one year of war in the country of Ukraine and Ukraine’s courageous resistance to the Russian invasion,” Cardinal Gregory said. “We pray this evening and each day for comfort and wisdom as well as for the continued strength to endure. Our prayers are for all war and conflict to cease in every part of the world – that we may experience God’s healing and live in peace.”
