​A PRAYER FOR PEACE BY POPE FRANCIS (FOR UKRAINE)

Lord God of peace, hear our prayer!
We have tried so many times and over so many years

to resolve our conflicts by our own powers and by the force of our arms.
How many moments of hostility and darkness have we experienced?
how much blood has been shed?
how many lives have been shattered?
how many hopes have been buried? But our efforts have been in vain.

Now, Lord, come to our aid! Grant us peace, teach us peace;
guide our steps in the way of peace.
Open our eyes and our hearts,
and give us the courage to say: "Never again war!"; "With war everything is lost".
Instill in our hearts the courage to take concrete steps to achieve peace.

Lord, God of Abraham, God of the Prophets, God of Love,

you created us and you call us to live as brothers and sisters.
Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace;

enable us to see everyone who crosses our path as our brother or sister.
Make us sensitive to the plea of our citizens who entreat us

to turn our weapons of war into implements of peace,
our trepidation into confident trust,
and our quarreling into forgiveness.

Keep alive within us the flame of hope,

so that with patience and perseverance
we may opt for dialogue and reconciliation.
In this way may peace triumph at last,
and may the words "division," "hatred," and "war"
be banished from the heart of every man and woman.

​Lord, defuse the violence of our tongues and our hands.

Renew our hearts and minds,
so that the word which always brings us together will be "brother,"
and our way of life
will always be that of: Shalom, Peace, Salaam!
Amen.

Do not be afraid; just have faith.

From Today's Gospel (6/27)

“My daughter is at the point of death.
Please, come lay your hands on her
that she may get well and live.”
"Jesus said to the synagogue official,
'Do not be afraid; just have faith.'"

For meditation: What am I afraid of? 
Let's face them all, with Jesus in prayer. 
Let's place all of them at the foot of the Cross.

The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with Indulgence:
Most sacred Heart of Jesus, pour down Your blessings abundantly on Your holy Church, on the Supreme Pointiff, and on all the clergy. Grant perseverance to the just, convert sinners, enlighten infidels, bless our parents, friends, and benefactors, assist the dying, free the souls in purgatory, and extend over all hearts the sweet empire of Your love.

- Indulgence of 300 days, once a day - Pope Pius X, 16 June 1906
