Pope Leo Calls Faithful to Pray for Peace on April 11th
The Holy Father’s global challenge comes amid growing tensions in the Middle East and beyond.
“I make a special plea to my brother bishops, the priests, the laity, and all people yearning for true peace to join the Holy Father’s Vigil for Peace, whether virtually, or in parishes, chapels, or before the Lord present in the quiet of their hearts to join with our Holy Father as we pray for peace in our world,” he said.
No matter how the faithful choose to pray with Pope Leo for peace, the important thing is surrendering ourselves, our communities and our world to the Lord of Lords, asking him to accomplish his will in and through us and to let his peace reign on Earth.
We will have prayer and adoration in the chapel of the Parish church on Saturday between 2pm and 4pm. All are welcome.

This quote from Pope Francis is appropriate as we look forward to Holy Week.

Jesus’ passion becomes compassion whenever we hold out our hand to those who feel they cannot go on, when we lift up those who have fallen, when we embrace those who are discouraged. Brothers and sisters, in order to experience this great miracle of mercy, let us decide how we are meant to carry our own cross during this Holy Week: if not on our shoulders, in our hearts. And not only our cross, but also the cross of those who suffer all around us; perhaps even the cross of some unknown person whom chance has placed on our way – but is it really chance?
Let us prepare for the Lord’s paschal mystery by becoming each of us, for one another, a Simon of Cyrene.
