Oremus Pro Pace

Let us pray that the situation does not get any worse and does not become an open conflict. We pray that the Lord gives to all leaders and all of us the strength and light to overcome this crisis. Today we live in a time of great confusion and also of fear.

So prays His Excellency Bishop Peter Kang U-il of Cheju, president of the South Korean bishops’ conference — South Korean bishops call for peace after deadly artillery attack from North. "The bishops expect prayers for peace from the Universal Church," the article informs us. "We ask the Holy Father to pray for us, for peace and for the good of the Korean people," said Bishop Kang, who noted, "we continue to trust in God’s providence."
