PRAYERS FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
The Holy Father has called for Penance and Prayer this Sunday for Peace in the Middle East. The Pope asks that we pray to the Lord "For an immediate cease-fire between the sides, for humanitarian corridors to be opened in order to bring help to the suffering peoples and for reasonable and responsible negotiations to begin to put an end to objective situations of injustice that exist in the region".
