Brigidines acknowledge the call of Laudato Si to listen to the cry of all life pleading, Am I not your neighbour? As women walking in the footsteps of Brigid, Woman of Peace, we respond with Pope Francis, who has again called for peace in our world.
…”as the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to ravage entire peoples and nations… I ask everyone to take part in a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the world.” – Pope Francis, St Peter’s Square, 2/10/24
Pope Francis has marked the one year anniversary of the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, amid escalating violence in the region – and has asked for this global response on October 7th 2024.
Vatican News: Call to pray and fast for peace
Consider…
Prayer: Make me an instrument of Peace…
Reflect: Today I am taking sides
Homily: Homily – St Brigid’s Day Kildare.
Brigid, you were a woman of peace,
You brought harmony where there was conflict.
You brought light to the darkness.
You brought hope to the downcast.
May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled and anxious,
And may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and in our world.
