"I embrace Ukrainians with prayers,
especially those, who lost their lives during these days, and their
families. I hope for the development of a constructive dialogue between
the institutions and the civil society – that, excluding any sort of
violent actions, in the heart of every person, the spirit of peace and
the search for the common good conquers. Those were the words of Pope
Francis after the prayer "Angel of God” on Sunday, January 26, 2014, in
speaking to thousands of pilgrims who gathered on Saint Peter’s Square
in the Vatican, among whom were also representatives of the Ukrainian
inhabitants of Rome. This was reported by Radio Vatican.
