Israel-Hamas War

Dear friends in Christ, we have all been saddened by the news of the horrific attack of Hamas in Israel and Israel’s retaliation in Gaza, the tragic loss of so many lives and those who are being held as hostages. I urge everyone to implore our Blessed Mother, Mary, Queen of Peace, to intercede for peace in Israel and for the conversion of those who are responsible for such evil. Let us pray the rosary for the salvation of souls, and for God’s mercy upon all who have died in this ongoing conflict. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
