PRAYERS IN COMMUNION WITH ALL THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY WITH THE RECENT TRAGIC EVENTS.

May the victims find solace in this life and the next. May the hostages be freed unharmed. May their families find help and consolation. May the authors of strife and violence causing sufferings of many lives due to egotism, greed, fanaticism and injustice come their senses so that peace may reign and further suffering be avoided.
Lord, hear our prayers. Lord, grant us peace!
