In a letter from the Ukrainian Bishops to Pope Francis, the Bishops are asking for a public act of Consecration of the Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Following is the full text of the letter:

[Translated] Holy Father! In these hours of immeasurable pain and terrible ordeal for our people, we, the bishops of the Episcopal Conference of Ukraine, are spokesmen for the unceasing and heartfelt prayer, supported by our priests and consecrated persons, which comes to us from all Christian people to dedicate Your Holiness our Motherland and Russia. Responding to this prayer, we humbly ask Your Holiness to publicly perform the act of consecration to the Sacred Immaculate Heart of Mary of Ukraine and Russia, as requested by the Blessed Virgin in Fatima.  May the Mother of God, Queen of Peace, accept our prayer: Regina pacis, ora pro nobis!

The Ukraine Bishops have also asked that the following prayer be prayed after each Mass and also privately:

[Translated] Beloved Queen and Our Mother, Queen of the Holy Rosary, Help of Christians, Salvation of the human race, Victorious Virgin, here we humbly fall before You, that You may bring our sincere prayers to Almighty God in the Trinity.

We come in full confidence that we beg for mercy and protection for our Motherland in this dramatic time of war. Mother of Mercy, we ask this not for our merits, which we do not count on, but in view of the infinite goodness of Your Heart and the saving Blood of Christ, Your Son.

May the suffering and cries for help of so many people touch you. Have mercy on the wounded and victims of the shelling, orphans and widows, all those who were forced to leave their homes and seek refuge in safer places. Ask for mercy for those who gave their lives defending their neighbors and our Motherland.

O Immaculate Mother, ask God for the grace of conversion, and we especially ask for the conversion of Russia and all those who are blinded by hatred or thirst for power. Pray for us first of all those graces which can change human hearts in an instant, and which will prepare and bring such a coveted peace! Above all, bring us the gift of spiritual peace so that the Kingdom of God may grow in peace and harmony.

Queen of Peace, ask us for the grace of true reconciliation with God and with each other, so that we can give each other a hand of help and support.

The throne of wisdom, inspire all rulers to make wise decisions and strengthen the efforts of those who contribute to the end of war and peace.

Queen of the Apostles, ask for our pastors the gift of strong faith and zeal in the completion of the Sacraments, so that at this time we may all be united at the Eucharistic table and in zealous prayer.

Heal the sick, strengthen all medical staff and volunteers who care for the sick and wounded, ask for their spiritual and physical strength. Be healing for the sick, strengthening for the dying and joy for their loved ones.

Just as the Church and all mankind were consecrated to the Heart of Your Divine Son, and in Him we hope to become an inexhaustible source of victory and salvation for all, so we dedicate ourselves forever to You and to Your Immaculate Heart, our Mother and Queen, that Your love and care may ensure the victory of the Kingdom of God, and that our Ukraine and all nations reconciled among themselves and with God may bless and glorify You. Amen!

This is a time in which many of you have stated to us that you are not sure who to trust and which story is true or not. The above information comes to us from the Ukraine Bishop’s Episcopal Conference.

A Friend of Medjugorje has said that at this time when there is so much distrust, there is one source which is true and that is Our Lady Herself. Our Lady said on February 25, 2022, through Marija:

“…Help me with prayer, little children, that satan may not prevail. his power of death, hatred, and fear has visited the earth..”

In this time, we pray with Our Lady that satan may not prevail.

A Friend of Medjugorje recently spoke about the Ukraine in the February 28, 2022, Radio WAVE titled, “Our Lady’s October 7, 1993 Miracle,” a must-listen for anyone wanting to know what is happening right now.
