Bishop Philip writes…
The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas seems to be breaking down and so once again, it is the poor people of Gaza who are suffering. Let us pray for a renewal of the ceasefire, for peace and for some form of justice and reconciliation between the two sides. Let us also pray for peace and for some form of justice and reconciliation between all the different factions. During this month of October, the month of the Rosary, let us keep these important intentions in our prayers to the Lord. (If you would like a copy of my audio Rosary, you can access and download the files here.)
