An urgent prayer for peace


"Pray the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary
to obtain peace in the world . . . for she alone can save it"
- Our Lady of Fatima, July 13, 1917.

Pope Francis has called for January 26 to be a day of prayer for peace in Ukraine, as the threat rises of a Russian invasion.

"I am following with concern the increase of tensions that threaten to inflict a new blow to the peace in Ukraine, and call into question the security of the European continent, with wider repercussions," the pope said after his weekly Angelus address Jan. 23.

"I make a heartfelt appeal to all people of good will, that they may raise prayers to God Almighty, that every political action and initiative may serve human brotherhood, rather than partisan interests," he stated.

The Marian Fathers invite the faithful to unite in prayer and recite the Rosary for this intention.

Let us ask Our Lady's intercession for peace in the world, which we so badly need.

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help
or sought your intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired with confidence, I fly to you,
O virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy,
hear and answer me.
Amen.
