Peace be with you. Peace to all mankind. Isn't that what we always wanted? 💖

United with Pope Leo XIV in praying for peace—lifting our hearts to God, standing in solidarity with all who suffer, and echoing the Church’s unwavering call to end violence and restore justice. May our prayer become a witness to hope, and our lives instruments of reconciliation.

Let us join Pope Leo in praying for peace—-

Lord Jesus,
you conquered death
without weapons or violence:
you shattered its power
with the strength of peace.

Grant us your peace,
as you did to the women
filled with doubt on Easter morning,
as you did to the disciples
who were hiding in fear.

Send forth your Spirit,
the breath that gives life and reconciles,
that turns adversaries and enemies
into brothers and sisters.

Inspire in us to trust in Mary, your mother,
who stood at the foot of your cross
with a broken heart,
firm in the faith that you would rise again.

May the madness of war cease
and the Earth be cared for
and cultivated by those who still know
how to bring forth, protect and love life.

Hear us, Lord of life!
(from Pope Leo’s vigil for peace)

'BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS' 🕊️

Pope Leo XIV said Monday that he will continue to speak out “loudly” against war, stressing that his role is to preach the Gospel, not to enter into political disputes.

'I WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT LOUDLY AGAINST WAR'

Pope Leo XIV told Reuters on Monday that he plans to continue speaking out against war after US President Donald Trump's direct ‌attack on the leader of the 1.4-billion-member Church.

In comments aboard the papal flight to Algiers, where the first US pope is starting a 10-day tour to four African countries, the pontiff also said the Christian message was being "abused".

"I don't want to get into a debate with ⁠him," Leo told Reuters as he greeted journalists on the plane. "I don't think that the message of the Gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."

"I will continue to speak out loudly against war, looking to promote peace, promoting dialogue and multilateral relationships among the states to look for just solutions to problems," he said, speaking on English."Too many people are suffering in the world today," said Leo. "Too many innocent ‌people ⁠are being killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say there's a better way."

"The message of the church, my message, the message of the Gospel: Blessed are the Peacemakers. I do not look at my role as ⁠being political, a politician," he said.

Leo, originally from Chicago, has emerged as an outspoken critic of the US-Israeli war on Iran in recent weeks and decried the "madness of ⁠war" on in a peace appeal on Saturday.

Trump, in an apparent response to the pope's criticisms of both the conflict and the White House's ⁠hard-line immigration policies, said late on Sunday that Leo was "terrible".

"Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. | via Reuters

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." — Psalm 51:10

A Reflection for This Season
Renewal often happens in the "hidden" places—like a seed beneath the soil. Even if you don't see massive changes immediately, trust that the work being done in your spirit is real and foundational. Faith isn't a sprint; it's the quiet persistence of turning toward the Light, day after day. 🙏✝️

𝑨 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒍 - 𝑨𝒔𝒉 𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏—𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕. 🙏✝️
While the ashes remind us of our shared humanity and limitations, they also mark the beginning of a season of growth. Lent isn’t just about "giving something up"; it’s about taking something up—more kindness, more patience, and a deeper commitment to our community.

May this season be a time of renewal for your heart and soul. How are you planning to grow this Lent?
