Call to Prayer: Marking the Anniversary of the Israel-Hamas War

Pope Francis has asked for Catholics to observe October 7th as a day of prayer and fasting for peace, emphasizing the Christian responsibility to serve humanity in times of war and violence. The Pope has invited synod members to join him on October 6th at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major to offer prayers to the Virgin Mary for peace. The link above will also connect you with a letter from Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, similarly asking clergy and lay faithful of his diocese to mark the anniversary of the attacks on Israel with prayer, fasting, and penance.
