#Nonviolence - We pray for the repose of the soul the baby shot dead by an Israeli soldier. We pray for the baby’s family. May they be comforted. May that soldier question his obscene action and learn that nonviolence is possible, is the only future.

#Environment - On World Environment Day, let’s remember that climate change is a major factor in driving migration and threatening peace. We must push climate change deniers (& those who don’t recognise the urgency) to act now.

The past eleven years have been the hottest on record.
Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, warning signals are everywhere.
This is the moment to act for our environment & for our future.

#Ceasefires - The US has backed Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, while also breaking its own ceasefire agreement with Iran. That Iran retaliated led to another pause in achieving lasting peace. We pray that genuine dialogue is undertaken.

Pope Leo XIV is inviting Catholics around the world to join him in praying a rosary for peace on May 30.
The Holy Father is set to pray the rosary live from the Lourdes Grotto in the Vatican Gardens at 7 p.m. Rome time. Monsignor Walter R. Rossi, rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., will join Pope Leo in praying the rosary with a simultaneous livestream at 1 p.m. ET, according to a May 22 press release.
Shrines that have joined the initiative, coordinated by the Dicastery for Evangelization, include: the Shrine of the Mother of God (Zarvanytsia, Ukraine); the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Antipolo, Philippines); the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary (Fátima, Portugal); the Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Peace (Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina); the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Lourdes, France); the Shrine of St. Charbel Annaya (Byblos, Lebanon); and the Pontifical Shrine of the Holy House (Loreto, Italy).
“As the preeminent Marian shrine and patronal church of the United States, the basilica joins shrines throughout the world in this worldwide rosary with the Holy Father,” according to a statement from the basilica in Washington, D.C. “All are invited to participate in this special moment of unity and prayer for peace throughout the world.”
During his homily at Pentecost, Leo called Catholics to pray to the Holy Spirit to “save us from the evil of war, which is overcome not by a superpower but by the omnipotence of love.”
Leo has issued repeated calls for peace around the world, including the Middle East, Africa, and Ukraine, since the start of his pontificate.
