We pray for the people of Afghanistan in this time of unrest, fear and uncertainty.

Pope Francis expressed his hope for the peace and safety of the country’s citizens hours before the Taliban took control of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul.

“I join in the unanimous concern for the situation in Afghanistan. I ask all of you to pray with me to the God of peace, so that the clamour of weapons might cease and solutions can be found at the table of dialogue,” the Pope said on 15 August during his Angelus address.

Only through dialogue, he added, “can the battered population of that country — men, women, elderly and children — return to their own homes, and live in peace and security, in total mutual respect.”

“I ASK ALL OF YOU TO PRAY WITH ME TO THE GOD OF PEACE” – POPE FRANCIS  

We also remember in our prayers all those we know and love who are sick and those affected by the Coronavirus.

Wishing everyone health and peace in this uncertain time.

In all things may God be glorified
