Cardinal Krajevsky, director of the Pontifical Soup, returned to Ukraine and blessed a center for mothers, children and the needy.
(Vatican News) Cardinal Krajewski, Prefect of the Congregation for Charity, came to Ukraine again a few days ago and presided over the inauguration ceremony of a reception home. “This is a reception home for people fleeing war zones, especially those on the border with Russia,” the cardinal said. “The reception home was built at a very difficult time, because the groundbreaking began during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently in Construction continued during the war. The center could accommodate 50 people, who could spend the night and have their meals there. In addition, there were showers for the poor and a large canteen.”
Cardinal Krajewski noted that the reception house was built “thanks to people of good will, starting with Pope Francis and many donors.” In such difficult times, despite the constant sound of sirens, this hospitality home was built. When this is God’s work, it can always be completed. Cardinal Krajewski continued, “We open this house of hospitality in accordance with the teachings of the Gospel. Here, Jesus is the example, who from morning to night seeks out the needy, the suffering, the people who need help.” . We “can do good, so we do it,” the cardinal added.
Cardinal Krajewski, Prefect of the Congregation for Charity, also explained that the reception home was built in Lviv, 80 kilometers from the Polish border, “because there are many refugees there and they are unwilling to leave their country.” So we will stop in Lviv. The cardinal pointed out that this is because they feel safe here and can wait for the moment when they return to their homeland. The cardinal thanked God for being able to build a hospitality home.
After Cardinal Krajewski inaugurated the reception house, he and the Holy See’s Nuncio to Ukraine went to a hospital to visit soldiers who had retreated from the front line to Lviv for treatment. “We visit them in the name of our Holy Father,” the cardinal concluded. “We want to pray with them and to be with them.”
