Lisbon, 25 Mar The President of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, attended this Friday the Shrine of Fatima - one of the largest pilgrimage centers in the world - to join the consecration to humanity, especially addressed to Russia and Ukraine, celebrated today by the Pope from St. Peter's Basilica. Earlier, Francis sent to all the nunciatures of the world the passage read today which reads: “Mother of God and our mother, to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, to ourselves, to the Church and to all humanity, especially to Russia and Ukraine”. This call for universal peace responds to the request of the Ukrainian bishops on the occasion of the Lenten penitential service practiced by the pontiff, to which all the bishops of the world have joined. The text read by Francis pleads with Mary to “accept this act that we carry out with trust and love. Make the war end and peace spread all over the world.” Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, a papal almsner, led the act of consecration simultaneously to the Pope at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. Upon arriving at the sanctuary, he said that this act is intended to “drive the demons out of war”, since what is happening is “something diabolical”. From four o'clock in the afternoon GMT, thousands of devotees gathered in the Chapel of the Apparitions of Fatima, where the rosary was prayed and where the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag stood out.
