Today, we are asked by our Holy Father, Pope Francis, to join Catholics around the world in praying and fasting for peace. Today is the one-year anniversary of the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. It is also the feast of the Holy Rosary. “In this dramatic hour of our history,” the Pope said, “while the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to devastate entire peoples and nations,” the Christian community is reminded of its call to "put itself at the service of humanity." Please consider joining Bishop Barber and others in praying for peace, perhaps praying the Rosary using the Sorrowful Mysteries.
