Vatican City; December 2025: Three lorries carrying one hundred thousand food packets that, with a little bit of water, become energy-rich soups with chicken and vegetables: A \u201csmall gesture\u201d from Pope Leo XIV that offers vital relief for Ukrainian families who, on the occasion of Holy Family Sunday in Nazareth on 28 December, will receive humanitarian aid from the Vatican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pope Leo XIV’s gift, as Papal Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski told the Vatican media, is a gesture towards families who, like the family of Nazareth, \u201cfollow the \u2018via dolorosa\u2019 of exile in search of refuge<\/em>\u201d, experiencing \u201cthe dramatic condition of refugees, marked by fear, hardship and uncertainty<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a gesture, the cardinal continued, that shows how God, \u201cby being born into such a family, desires to always be where human beings are in danger, where they suffer, where they flee, where they experience rejection and abandonment.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cardinal also noted that, even before Christmas, through the Office of Papal Charities and the Nunciatures, the Holy Father sent financial aid to various countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Ukraine, before Christmas Eve, three lorries full of humanitarian aid sent by the Korean company Samyang Foods arrived at the Vatican and were then diverted to the war zones most affected by bombing, \u201cwhere there is no electricity, no water, and no heating<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cardinal Krajewski pointed out that Pope Leo \u201cnot only prays for peace, but wants to be present in the families who are suffering<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Team Maverick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vatican City; December 2025: Three lorries carrying one hundred thousand food packets that, with a little bit of water, become energy-rich soups with chicken and vegetables: A \u201csmall gesture\u201d from Pope Leo XIV that offers vital relief for Ukrainian families who, on the occasion of Holy Family Sunday in Nazareth on 28 December, will receive …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":93132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[81],"post_format":[],"flags":[],"class_list":["post-93131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news","tag-world"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93131"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93133,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93131\/revisions\/93133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/93132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93131"},{"taxonomy":"post_format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpost_format&post=93131"},{"taxonomy":"flags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fflags&post=93131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
