As we continue our thoughts  and prayers for the people of the Ukraine, these words of St. Paul VI are most appropriate for the month of our Mother Mary:

 

May she, who knows the sufferings and troubles of life here below, the weariness of everyday work, the hardships and privations of poverty, the sufferings of Calvary, bring help to the needs of the Church and the world, heed the appeals for peace rising to her from every part of the world, and enlighten those who rule the destinies of men.

May she prevail on God, Lord of the winds and storms, to still also the tempests in men’s conflicting hearts and ‘grant us peace in our time’, true peace based on the solid lasting foundations of justice and love — of justice granted to the weakest as to the strongest; and love which prevents egoism from leading men astray, so that each one’s rights may be safeguarded without forgetfulness or denial of the rights of others.    Pope St. Paul VI, May 1965
