Pray for the People of UkraineMarch 1, 2022 ~ As the world watches the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces, it is imperative that Christians throughout the world make a response of faith and take up the call to prayer and fasting for an end to this evil.
In particular, Our Lady of Fatima asked the world to pray for the conversion of Russia. Once again it is time to make a response of faith by our fervent praying of the holy rosary, that Our Lady Queen of Peace will overcome this evil and bring a peaceful resolution to this tragic conflict.
I encourage all our parishes, and the various organizations within our diocese and parishes, to begin regularly praying the holy rosary for the withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine. Pray that the great mercy of God will bring healing and hope to all who are victims of this senseless conflict.
Together, let us renew our faith in the powerful intercession of Our Blessed Mother. Pray the rosary so that the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph over this evil. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us to have recourse to thee!
