Please pray for Syria

Pope Francis has called for a day of fasting and prayer today, and to ‘let the cry for peace rise up across the Earth’.

For Syria and for the ancient churches of Antioch and Damascus, for Syria’s Alawites and secularists, for all of Syria’s civilian population now currently living in fear of their lives and of their communities, for peace in the Levant and throughout our troubled world, we pray, in the name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
