Our hearts and prayers are with those who died and those suffering after the terrorist attack and the continuing conflict in the Holy Land. Let us join Pope Francis and the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa to pray for peace. The Holy Father asks that Catholics continue to pray through the intercession of Mary "for the gift of peace for the many countries of the world marked by war and conflict.“

"We ask God to inspire world leaders in their intervention for the implementation of peace and concord, so that Jerusalem may be a house of prayer for all peoples.” ~Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa

For those killed, displaced, and impacted by the terrorist attack in Israel and the ensuing war, may God grant eternal rest to the deceased, console those grieving, protect and comfort those in fear, and guide world leaders so this conflict may be brought to a peaceful end, let us pray to the Lord...
