On a day to celebrate the Assumption, the pope again referred to Ukraine and the war tearing the world apart, asking the faithful to “keep hope and keep praying” in his speech after the Angelus.
(Vatican News.com) Pope Francis entrusts his prayers for peace to the intercession of the Virgin Mary on a day celebrating the Feast of the Assumption. “Today we entrust to the Ascended Mary the prayers of Ukraine and all regions torn apart by war. Sadly, too many places have been torn by war. The roar of weapons overshadows dialogue.” Efforts; the power of might overpowers the power of the law. But we should not lose our courage, we should keep hope and keep praying, because it is God who guides history. May He hear our voices!”
Meanwhile, civilian deaths continued in Ukraine. It is reported that on the evening of the 14th and the morning of the 15th, Russia attacked residential buildings in Lviv and Lutsk, the capital of the Volyn region in northwestern Ukraine. Authorities immediately urged people to seek shelter and stay away from windows. Explosions were also reported in the Kiev region and the Zaporozhye region.
