A Ukrainian child advocate shares how the Vatican can play an even greater role than it already has in helping to return Ukrainian kids deported by Russia. Amid immigration raids and protests, Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles calls for prayer, healing and trust in Jesus and Mary. Mexico's bishops echoed that message, and expressed their solidarity with migrants.
