His Holiness Pope Francis has called for today to be a day of fasting and prayer for peace as we commemorate one year since the horrific events of October 7th and a year of war, tragedy and life lost across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and the region of the Middle East.
Last week Cardinal Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, issued a letter calling for Monday October 7th to be a day of fasting, penance and prayer for peace in The Holy Land and this call has been endorsed and echoed by the Holy Father.
In his letter, the Patriarch notes that not only does the month of October mark a year of violence in both Israel and Palestine, but is also a month of Marian devotion. In fact on this very day we celebrate the memory of Mary Queen of the Rosary. In recognition of both the anniversary of the war and the day dedicated to Our Lady on which it falls, he asks each of us to find a moment today to pause and pray to “invoke the intercession of Mary Queen of the Rosary for this beloved Land and its inhabitants”.
We ask you to join us alongside Pope Francis, Cardinal Pizzaballa and all our brothers and sisters across the Middle East to pray for peace for all who call these lands home. 🕊️
