May a powerful cry for peace go up from every land! – Pope Francis
Pope Francis has called for a day of fasting and prayer for peace this coming Saturday, September 7.
“This coming Saturday we will live together a special day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world. I renew the invitation to the whole Church to live this day intensely, and even now I express gratitude to the other Christian brethren, to the brethren of other religions and to the men and women of good will who desire to join in this initiative, in places and ways of their own… May a powerful cry for peace go up from every land!”
In solidarity with the Holy Father, the Cardinal invites the faithful of the Archdiocese to join him at St. John’s Seminary in Brighton for a Vigil for Peace on Saturday beginning at 1:00 pm and concluding with a Mass at 5pm celebrated by the Cardinal in St. John’s Seminary Chapel.
