By Deborah Castellano Lubov
In his latest gesture of closeness to suffering populations as wars plague the world, 杏MAP导航 Francis greeted Ukrainian wives and mothers after today's General Audience in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday morning.

"On Saturday," 杏MAP导航 Francis said, "we will celebrate the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Patrons of Rome."
"To their intercession," he continued, "let us entrust the peoples suffering from war: the tormented Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, and Myanmar, so that they may soon find peace."
