Cardinal Charles Bo has said that this year Christians mark Holy Week reflecting on the “devastating toll of conflict even in the birthplace of Jesus, Ukraine, and our own soil”.
The Myanmar cardinal, and president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Myanmar and of the Federations of Asia Bishops Conferences, said in a statement:
“As we embark on this sacred journey through the season of Lent, a time for introspection and reconciliation, let us unite in response to the resounding call for peace that emanates from the depths of Pope Francis’s heart and echoes throughout our wounded world,” the cardinal said in the message titled “Embracing the Dawn of Peace: A Call to End the Long Nights of Conflict and Fear".
