A Day of Fasting and Prayer for Peace in Israel

We ask that on Tuesday, October 17, everyone hold a day of fasting, abstinence, and prayer. Let us organize prayer times with Eucharistic adoration and with the recitation of the Rosary to Our Blessed Virgin Mary. Although most probably in many parts of our dioceses circumstances will not permit large gatherings, it is possible to organize simple and sober common moments of prayer in parishes, religious communities, and families.

Cardinal Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem has put this call out for today. Read the whole thing here.
