The suffering of the Ukrainian people is one with the Passion of the Lord, writes Bishop Kenneth Nowakowski

When we reflect on the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, and on the suffering He endured on that memorable Friday in Jerusalem, we can imagine Him being led with brutality through the streets of the Holy City and being nailed to the Cross for our sins. The humanity in us wants the pain to stop. However, we also understand that He voluntarily underwent His Passion for our sake and for our salvation; such is God’s love for us.
