The Pope Asks Us to Pray and Fast
This post will be on top all day Sunday.
JMJ+D
The Pope has announced Sunday, July 23 to be a day of prayer and penance. He has asked all people of the world to pray and fast for the peace in the Holy Land. Tomorrow, our parish will be saying the rosary after the 8:30 am Mass.
Prayer for Peace by Pope John Paul II
O God, Creator of the universe, who extends your paternal concern over every creature and guides the events of history to the goal of salvation, we acknowledge your fatherly love when you break the resistance of mankind and, in a world torn by strife and discord, you make us ready for reconciliation. Renew for us the wonders of your mercy; send forth your Spirit that he may work in the intimacy of hearts, that enemies may begin to dialogue, that adversaries may shake hands and peoples may encounter one another in harmony. May all commit themselves to the sincere search for true peace which will extinguish all arguments, for charity which overcomes hatred, for pardon which disarms revenge.
