After a stop in Poland, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski reached in Lviv, Ukraine. He says refugees are moved to tears when he tells them that he comes on behalf of the Pope.
He also met with Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
From Hungary, Cardinal Michael Czerny crossed the border into Ukraine as well. He traveled by car.
Before leaving, he visited several centers in Hungary that are taking in refugees. Just as the Pope did last Sunday, he thanked the journalists there for their work.
In Ukraine, he met with leaders of different Christian rites, including non-Catholics.
But perhaps the most powerful scenes were the images of war shown to the cardinals by refugees. These are the memories they take with them as they flee their home country.
