On the left, on a cream colored background a blue headline that reads “PRAY FOR PEACE” above “Middle East / Iran.” A long, italicized quote attributed to Pope Leo (Angelus, Sunday, March 1, 2026) is below the headline calling for peace through “reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue,” warning of a “tragedy of immense proportions,” urging a halt to the “spiral of violence,” and appealing for diplomacy that upholds the well-being of peoples and a peaceful existence founded on justice. On the right, an illustration of Mary as Queen of Peace – wearing a crown, a white robe, and a blue-green mantle with gold trim, holding an olive branch and extending her other hand in a gentle, welcoming gesture.
Please join us in adding our prayers to those of #PopeLeo, the @USCCB, faith leaders, and people of goodwill across our common home – for peace.
Let us pray. 🙏
