Prayers for Peace

During this awful time of turmoil in Israel and Palestine, Pope Francis has called for prayers for peace. 

‘I express my closeness to the families and victims. I am praying for them and for all who are living hours of terror and anguish. May the attacks and weapons cease,’ the Pope said this week. 

‘And let it be understood that terrorism and war do not lead to any resolutions, but only to the death and suffering of so many innocent people. War is a defeat! Let us pray that there be peace in Israel and in Palestine.’

During October, the Pope has asked Catholics to pray for Mary’s intercession ‘for the gift of peace in the many countries throughout the world marked by war and conflicts. And let us continue to remember the dear Ukraine, which suffers so much every day, which is so battered.’

Please make some time each day to pray for peace in Israel, Palestine and Ukraine.
