Prayer for Peace
Lord our God, Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Father of all mankind, Who in the cross of Your Son and through the gift of His own life, at great cost You wished to destroy the wall of enmity and hostility that separates peoples and makes us enemies: Send into our hearts the gift of the Holy Spirit, that He may purify us from every feeling of violence, hatred and revenge, enlighten us to understand the irrepressible dignity of every human person, and inflame us to the point of consumption for a peaceful and reconciled world in truth and justice, in love and freedom.
Almighty and eternal God, in Your hands, are the hopes of men and the rights of every people: Assist with Your wisdom those who govern us so that, with Your help, they will become sensitive to the sufferings of the poor and of those who suffer the consequences of violence and war; may they promote the common good and lasting peace in
the region and throughout the earth.
Virgin Mary, Mother of Hope, obtain the gift of peace for the Holy Land that gave birth
to you and for the whole world. Amen

CAFOD Family Fast Day - Harvest Appeal
Daniel, a young man in Democratic Republic
of Congo, is carving a better future
for his family with carpentry skills he
learned in a CAFOD-funded training centre.
Give to CAFOD today and you?ll fund training, tools, equipment and safe spaces so more people like Daniel can learn new skills
and fulfil their God-given potential.
Use the envelopes provided please.
Daniel is hard-working, resilient,
and full of empathy. He really cares
for the people around him
and is determined to help his family.
Daniel who lives in Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo grew up with real poverty.
Thankfully, he encountered a group of young men putting on dusty overalls outside a workshop. They told him they were learning carpentry at a CAFOD-funded training centre.
He joined the carpentry training
programme and with the help of
our local experts, he worked diligently
for eight months to train as a carpenter.
He now has his own workshop. He?s not only crafting beautiful doors, chairs and cabinets for happy customers, he?s also carving a better future for himself and his family.
With your support, many young people will also have the opportunity to learn new skills.
