Across Gaza and the West Bank, Sudan, Ukraine, Lebanon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and other communities affected by conflict, CAFOD staff and local partners continue to support families living through violence, fear and displacement.
Despite overwhelming challenges, they remain alongside their communities with courage, compassion and hope.
As Pope Leo XIV reminds us: “Peace is more than just a goal; it is a presence and a journey.”
We invite you to join us in prayer and solidarity for peace.
Tools of peace
Lord Jesus,
the angels who announced your birth sang of peace; and Mary your mother treasured their words in her heart.
Today we strive to bring about a world where all your children live free from the threat of violence and war.
May we be lovers of peace, givers and creators of hope.
We long for the time when those who go hungry are filled with good things and the lowly are raised high.
May we be inspired by your love, to transform weapons of war into tools of peace.
Amen.
