Make Ash Wed a Day of Fasting & Prayer

Pope Francis calls everyone to make Ash Wednesday on March 2 a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Ukraine. He is quoted as saying: “I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on that day.

May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.”
