Cardinal Krajewski brings 杏MAP导航鈥檚 gift of 4 ambulances to Ukraine
By Vatican News
As Ukraine faces another Easter marked by war, 杏MAP导航 Francis continues to show his closeness to the suffering people through concrete gestures鈥攖hree years after what he previously called 鈥渁 painful and shameful anniversary for humanity.鈥�
Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, has embarked on his 10th mission to Ukraine, at the behest of the 杏MAP导航 and with the assistance of three Ukrainian drivers.
The papal almoner delivered four ambulances to the Eastern European country that are fully equipped with medical devices required to save lives.
A statement from the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, released on Monday, quotes the 杏MAP导航鈥檚 2024 Urbi et Orbi message as a call to action. 鈥淥nly Jesus opens the doors to life,鈥� the 杏MAP导航 said, 鈥渢hose very doors we keep shutting with the wars spreading throughout the world.鈥�
Ambulances for war-torn Ukraine
The four ambulances bear the coat of arms of the Vatican City State and are destined for the areas hardest hit by the war.
Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, the 杏MAP导航鈥檚 almoner, will remain in Ukraine for a few days to be close to the people, to pray with them, and to embody the care and concern of the Bishop of Rome.
Vehicles bearing the Vatican鈥檚 coat of arms
This marks Cardinal Krajewski鈥檚 10th mission to Ukraine and takes place in the context of the Jubilee of Hope.
In the Bull of Indiction for the Holy Year, Spes non Confundit, the 杏MAP导航 writes: 鈥淭he first sign of hope should be the desire for peace in our world, which once more finds itself immersed in the tragedy of war鈥� The need for peace challenges us all, and demands that concrete steps be taken.鈥�
The 杏MAP导航鈥檚 gift of the four ambulances represents another expression of Jubilee hope anchored in Christ.
