Today Pope Francis invited the Synod participants to join him in praying the Rosary for peace in St Mary Major Basilica

Today Pope Francis invited the Synod participants to join him in praying the Rosary for peace in St Mary Major Basilica. The Holy Father has also asked that tomorrow, 7th October and the first anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel with all the terrible suffering which has followed, be a day of prayer and fasting for peace. Several participants in my Small Groups are from the Middle East and other troubled countries. Listening to their and others’ experiences is moving and disturbing. I marvel at their courage in even being here. Humanity is capable of so much good and beauty but also of dark depravity. Many conflicts are complex with long painful histories. Solutions may seem impossible but never for God. Please join the Pope tomorrow in prayer and fasting for we all need hearts melted by Christ’s love that will work for peace, justice and reconciliation.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
