Dear Dina,

On behalf of the National Fraternity of Canada, I am writing to express our deep sadness around the recent violence and aggression that has fallen upon your country. You and the Ukrainian people are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

As you may know, Canada has a large number of people of Ukrainian descent and, in fact, Ukrainians have made a wonderful contribution to the fabric of our Canadian culture, especially in Western Canada. They too are suffering as they witness recent events in your country. We are all praying that diplomatic efforts will bear fruit in bringing an end to the violence that you are currently experiencing and a return to peace.

Through all of these difficulties, know that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is close to you during these difficult days, and that he will always be at your side through all of the sufferings that you are enduring. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of our sisters and brothers in the Ukraine.

​United in Prayer,

Chère Dina,

Au nom de la Fraternité nationale du Canada, je vous écris pour vous faire part de notre profonde tristesse face à la violence et à l'agression qui se sont abattues récemment sur votre pays. Vous et le peuple ukrainien êtes dans nos pensées et dans nos prières en ces moments très difficiles.

Comme vous le savez peut-être, le Canada compte un grand nombre de personnes d'origine ukrainienne et, en fait, les Ukrainiens ont apporté une merveilleuse contribution au centre de notre culture canadienne, en particulier dans l'ouest du Canada. Eux aussi souffrent en étant témoins des récents événements dans votre pays. Nous prions tous pour que les efforts diplomatiques portent leurs fruits en mettant fin à la violence que vous vivez actuellement et en ramenant la paix.

A travers toutes ces difficultés, sachez que Jésus, le Prince de la Paix, est proche de vous en ces jours difficiles, et qu'il sera toujours à vos côtés à travers toutes les souffrances que vous endurez. Nos pensées et nos prières sont avec vous et avec tous nos frères et soeurs en Ukraine.
​
Unis dans la prière,
