The Pope was referring to 23 year-old Ukrainian soldier Oleksandr, whose rosary and Bible he received several months ago.At the General Audience of April 3rd of this year, the Pope had held up the items and showed them to those gathered in St Peter's Square. “Alexander read the New Testament and the Psalms,” the Pope added, “and in the Book of Psalms, he had underlined Psalm 130: 'Out of the depths I cry to thee, O Lord! Lord, hear my voice!'.”
“I would like all of us to take a moment of silence, to think about this young man and many others like him who have died in this madness of war. War always destroys!"Today – in a demonstration of how much the gift had touched him– the Pope revealed that he has placed Oleksandr’s Bible on his desk.
