Pope Leo XIV Calls for Fasting & Prayer Friday

       Pope Leo XIV worried by too many wars 

As too many conflicts continue to tear the world apart, Pope Leo XIV Wednesday, August 20, invites the faithful to prayer and fasting on Friday, August 22, for peace.

Addressing the faithful gathered at the Paul VI Hall, during his weekly General Audience at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the world’s many conflict zones, and called for a "disarmed and disarming peace" in all places torn by armed conflict.

 Recalling the upcoming liturgical commemoration of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to be celebrated on Friday, August 22, the Pope invites the faithful to celebrate that day by praying and fasting for peace.

“Mary is the Mother of the faithful here on earth and is remembered as the Queen of Peace,” the Pope said.

As our world continues to be wounded by wars - in the Holy Land, in Ukraine, and in other parts of the world -  the Pope invites all the faithful to take part in "a day of prayer and fasting" for all those who suffer because of war, "imploring the Lord to grant us peace and justice, and to wipe away the tears of those who suffer because of ongoing armed conflicts."

          Pope Leo XIV prays for world peace 

"May Mary, Queen of Peace, intercede so that peoples may find the path of peace," he ended.
