ROME — Pope Francis is urging Christians to spend less on Christmas this year and to send the savings to the people of Ukraine.
“There is so much suffering in Ukraine, so much, so much!” the pontiff told the crowds gathered in the Vatican for his weekly General Audience Wednesday.
“I would like to draw some attention to the coming Christmas, even the parties,” he said. “It’s nice to celebrate Christmas, to have parties… but let’s lower the level of Christmas spending a bit.”
“Let’s have a humbler Christmas, with more humble gifts,” he proposed. “We send what we save to the Ukrainian people, who are in need, who suffer so much.”
