People just can't do simple things. Everything has to be complicated and stupid. When God speaks to me (my external thoughts) it is always simple with few words. We should learn from God, but we never do.

Never fails with Francis. Seems he might be consecrating "all humanity" along with Russia and Ukraine. Would not surprise me if he just says all humanity, and those countries at war, and then goes off on a wokey and all transexuals, and mother earth, pachamama, etc. He's a humanist, maybe even a transhumanist. Of course it's all about humanity with him.

I forgot to add this to my post. Most people will pooh pooh this blessing stuff as archaic and sky fairyish. However, how has the humanistic stuff been working for us? How has the trucker convoys, voting, peaceful protests, school board meetings, social media posts, etc., been working? A peaceful, harmonic world has emerged from all our humanistic actions?

That's right. I don't think the Pope will mention that but we'll see what he says.

Maybe "and Ukraine" is to placate the virulent pro-Russian types among the conspiracy-leaning Western types? If so, no harm in that. Why not also "and the rest of the world"? Or "and non-vegetarians"? As you said, let us wait and observe. God has mysterious ways.

I thought about why add Ukraine and it is probably just for optics. Ukraine was part of Russia back when Fatima occured so Just saying Russia alone I would think would be sufficient. Adding Ukraine would be redundant unless there are man-made reasons. The Blessed Virgin Mary did not ask for it. Humans just can't keep things simple.
