Please pray for the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine these last ten days. For the dead, the dying, the children, those who have been displaced, for the courageous soldiers, civiliansand others who are locked in an uneven struggle against the forces o so great an evil. And especially for the Bishops, clergy and religious who remain with their flock through this terrible time. May the Most Holy Mother of God the Protection extend Her Mantle over them all in the coming days and weeks to help them endure this satanic onslaught. May God help them all and defeat those forces.

Alex
