Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Pope declares day of prayer for Mideast peace

Jul. 20 (CWNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) has called for a worldwide day of prayer and penance for peace in the Middle East, to be observed on Sunday, July 23.

In a statement released on July 20 through the Vatican press office, the Holy Father called upon "the pastors and faithful of all the particular churches, and believers of the world, to implore from God the precious gift of peace."

The Pope's statement listed specific petitions to be raised during the day of prayer and penance:

for an immediate ceasefire,
for the opening of humanitarian corridors allowing the delivery of humanitarian aid, and
for reasonable and responsible negotiations to begin to put an end to objective situations of injustice that exist in that region."

Our parish is doing Wednesday as a Day of Prayer...I think because there wasn't enough time to get the word out? But I will add on our prayers for today, too.
