Lord, these are Your wounds.

Jesus Christ is today crucified in the body of Ukraine, and we worship Him in the wounds of ordinary people. Very often, when I visit hospitals and see young people after amputations – there are about five thousand of them – I say, “Lord, these are Your wounds. Lord, I cannot worship You just in church. It is my duty to worship You here, in the wounds of my people.”
