In this video we share the Archbishop of Kiev's Order to Keep the Churches Open in Ukraine.
In this story we shall see the order on the part of the Ukrainian Church, in a moment of great suffering for all the people, given the awareness of what really is the first weapon against the evil that spreads, and the urgent need for charity towards those who suffer.
In fact, the bishop's decision enters the midst of a crisis giving an answer that may appear to be one of "weakness", while in reality it is the strongest of all.
Among the many images of bombs, cruelty and violence, in fact, in these hours there are also glimmers of hope.
These are the photos of many faithful who pray against the flare-up of the evil of war, in the streets of Ukraine and in many other places in the cities, now invaded by pain and fear of fleeing to safer places. Unfortunately, many Ukrainian soldiers engaged in a conflict that they certainly did not want to do the same are doing the same.
Thus also the Ukrainian Church, following the desire that rises powerfully from the people, from the continuous request of the Pontiff but also from the many Marian apparitions that today stand out more powerful than ever, has decided to take the situation head-on and put the conflict at the center of the conflict. strongest weapon of the Christian: prayer, together with the closeness of the Church to the people in times of danger.
The bishop of Kiev has in fact given the order to keep all churches in Ukraine open.
His blessedness Bishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, who is also head of the Greek-Catholic Church in Ukraine, has in fact given an order that does not admit extenuating circumstances or defaults.
Every Christian in these hours will therefore have not only the right but also the possibility of invoking divine intervention in the face of destruction.

The religious took refuge with others in a basement of the Cathedral of the Resurrection in Kiev, just as the increasingly heavy bombings began in the city.
This was revealed to the press agency of the Italian bishops in the basement of the Cathedral of the Resurrection in Kiev, Father Andriy Soletskyy, currently in Florence for the meeting of the bishops on the Mediterranean.
Also at SIR, the archbishop commented on the progress of the war with pain and confirmed the request to keep the churches open to the faithful.
In fact, the whole Church is gathering together to fight against the war, starting with the Pope and the Holy See and ending with the many religious and missionaries present in the Ukrainian territory.
The Catholic missionaries have decided to remain present in the territory to give a true witness and to represent a presence of hope where death and desolation grow, thus giving proof of a moving dedication to the Lord who has no fear of martyrdom, when his own actions are performed in the name of Jesus' will and for the establishment of His Kingdom of love.
Pray for Peace!
Our Lady, Queen of Peace pray for us!
