STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron met with Pope Francis on Monday morning in the papal study at the Vatican.
The nearly hour-long private audience was Francis’ third with Macron since becoming pontiff.
Macron was accompanied by his wife, Brigitte.
In a sign of their good relationship, the two used the informal French form of “you” in their conversation, according to the president's office.
The Vatican in a brief statement said that after Macron spoke with Francis, the French leader met with the Holy See's secretary of state and its foreign minister.
A French presidency official indicated the focus on Ukraine was in line with Macron's speech on Sunday evening to a peace-promoting forum, which Francis will address later this week.
Macron used that speech to argue that it's up to Ukraine to decide the moment and terms of peace to end the war.
Francis will go to the Colosseum on Tuesday to deliver a speech about peace, at the same forum where Macron spoke.
The three-day forum is organized by a Catholic charity close to the Vatican.
