Deeds far more inspirational than words

Still little word from the Russian Orthodox Church on the war in Ukraine.

What a powerful message it would be if senior clergy across Europe travelled to Ukraine. 

Wouldn’t it be a far more powerful message than asking us to pray for the people who are being brutalised by the Russian Army.

Pope Francis has sent two cardinals to Ukraine. They are Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, the papal almsgiver and Cardinal Michael Czerny, head of the papal office that deals with migration, charity, justice and peace.
