APPEAL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart aches greatly at the worsening situation in Ukraine. Despite the diplomatic efforts of the last few weeks, increasingly alarming scenarios are opening up. Like me, many people all over the world are feeling anguish and concern. Once again the peace of all is threatened by partisan interests. I would like to appeal to those with political responsibility to examine their consciences seriously before God, who is the God of peace and not of war; who is the Father of all, not just of some, who wants us to be brothers and not enemies. I pray that all the parties involved refrain from any action that would cause even more suffering to the people, destabilising coexistence between nations and bringing international law into disrepute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now I would like to appeal to everyone, believers and non-believers alike. Jesus taught us that the diabolical senselessness of violence is answered with God’s weapons, with prayer and fasting. I invite everyone to make next 2 March, Ash Wednesday, a Day of Fasting for Peace. I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on that day. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LENTEN PIONEER PLEDGE <\/span>Many people choose to abstain from alcohol during Lent. Why not take this opportunity to perhaps help yourself or someone you know with an alcohol or drug problem, by offering your sacrifice for freedom from addiction? Please consider taking the short- term Lenten Pledge and make a difference to someone’s life, and say the following daily prayer. \u201cI promise in honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and with the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to abstain from all alcoholic drink during Lent.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIOCESAN VOCATION WEEKEND<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are very few men who realise what God would make of them if they abandoned themselves entirely to his hands.\u201d (St. Ignatius of Loyola)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us at the Vocations Weekend in Drumalis Retreat Centre, Larne, from Friday 11 \u2013 Sunday 13 March 2022.
