Thought for the Day: Official memorial celebrations are familiar to us, marking wars or national events. Often, these are coloured by a mixture of sadness and gratitude. The Christian memorial of the last week of Jesus’ life is entirely different. First of all, we tell the whole story again because he is risen from the dead. Secondly, this memorial is an effective one: as we do this in memory of him, the very same gifts of compassion, forgiveness, love and healing are offered again to all present, precisely because Jesus is risen from the dead. Our Christian memory is not a dead remembering but an effective bringing into the present of the great events that gave us new life in Christ. Prayer: Saving God, as we recall in word and gesture the great events of salvation, let us know your healing love once more. Amen

Pope Leo XIV on X: I continue to follow the situation in the Middle East with dismay. Like other regions of the world, it is torn apart by war and violence. We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many defenseless victims of these conflicts. What wounds them wounds all of humanity. The death and pain caused by these wars is a scandal for the entire human family and a cry that rises to God!

Pope Leo’s prayer to St Francis
St Francis, our brother, you who eight hundred years ago went to meet Sister Death as a man at peace, intercede for us with the Lord. In the Cross of San Damiano you recognised true peace. Teach us to seek in Christ the divine source of all reconciliation that breaks down every wall. You who, unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding, give us the courage to build bridges where the world erects borders.
In this time plagued by conflict and division, intercede so that we may become peacemakers: unarmed and disarming witnesses of the Peace that comes from
Christ. Amen.
