“I invite everyone to make this coming 2nd March, Ash Wednesday, a Day of Fasting for Peace:
let believers dedicate themselves intensively to prayer and fasting.
May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.
-Pope Francis
On this day to solemnly remember our human mortality and the need for reconciliation, the Holy Father invites us all to join in prayer and fasting for peace in Ukraine and around the world.
