The Trócaire Lenten Appeal

this year aims to highlight the challenges faced by families in Malawi due to the effects of climate change in the southern African country. Please Support.

 

 

 The Catholic Bishops of Ireland,

echo Pope Francis’ heartfelt appeal for a complete ceasefire in Gaza – ‘Enough, please! Let us all say it: enough…Stop!’

Stop the War! In saying this, we join with many in our parishes, together with all people of goodwill, in demanding an immediate end to the daily horror of killing, wounding and destruction of property and infrastructure there.  

 

In this Season of Lent, we Christians prepare for the celebration of the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s Death and Resurrection, as Muslims prepare for the Season of Ramadan and Jews prepare for the celebration of Passover.  We urge people to continue praying and fasting for the intention of peace.  In praying for peace in the land of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, we remember in a special way the small but vibrant Christian communities in Palestine.  An ideal way of showing solidarity at this time is to support Trócaire’s  Gaza appeal on https://www.trocaire.org/.

 

We implore Almighty God and Jesus, who is the Light of the world, to shine a light into the terrible darkness that envelops the region that we call the Holy Land.  In the face of despair, we renew our prayers for a just and lasting peace that respects justice and the dignity of all peoples.
