It will be the wars in the world and the strong request for peace at the center of
tonight 's
Via Crucis of the Pope which will be held at the Colosseum.
According to what has been learned, refugees from various countries at war should carry the cross from one station to another: from Ukraine to Nigeria, from Iraq to South Sudan, from Syria to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
They are the victims of that "piecemeal third world war" of which the Pope speaks on every occasion.
In the stations - whose meditations should be made known by the Holy See during the day - reference could also be made to the suffering of Christians in some areas of the world, such as in the Middle East, or to the tensions that are re-emerging in some areas, such as in the Balkans.
Also according to what has been learned, the organizations that most support and help refugees in Italy would have been involved in the organization of the Pope's Via Crucis, while for Ukraine the Greek-Catholic church of Santa Sofia in Rome could make a contribution, from a year of humanitarian aid from Italy, and from the Holy See through the cardinal almsgiver Konrad Krajewski, to Kiev.
