The Latin Catholic patriarch of Jerusalem has called for a day of prayer and fasting today for peace and reconciliation in the Holy Land.

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa has urged Catholics to organize times of prayer with Eucharistic adoration and the recitation of the rosary “to deliver to God the Father our thirst for peace, justice, and reconciliation.”

He said “In this time of sorrow and dismay, we do not want to remain helpless. We cannot let death and its sting be the only word we hear.” He continued “That is why we feel the need to pray, to turn our hearts to God the Father. Only in this way can we draw the strength and serenity needed to endure these hard times, by turning to him, in prayer and intercession, to implore and cry out to God amidst this anguish.”

Let us step away from our day to pause before Our Lord truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
