The Catholic bishops of the Holy Land have called for Tuesday October 17 to be set aside for fasting, abstinence, and prayer for peace in the region.
In an open letter, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, said: “On behalf of all the Ordinaries of the Holy Land, I invite all parishes and religious communities to a day of fasting and prayer for peace and reconciliation.
“Let us organise prayer times with Eucharistic adoration and with the recitation of the rosary to our Blessed Virgin Mary.”
