translation:

1. "And our thoughts also, at this moment, all of us... are about the people at war. We think of the Holy Land, of Palestine, of Israel. We think of Ukraine, the tormented Ukraine. We think of the prisoners of war. May the Lord move the will to free them all..... And speaking of the prisoners comes to our mind, for those who are tortured... The torture of prisoners is something ugly, it is inhuman. So many tortures that hurt the dignity of the person and so many tortured people come to mind. May the Lord help everyone and bless everyone... and to all of you my blessing".
