OUR LADY – PRAY FOR US
According to the wishes of His Grace, Archbishop Jwara CMM, please would all visitors to this site and all clergy/parishioners throughout the Archdiocese of Durban pray for a peaceful resolution to the Middle Eastern Conflict as well as to the conflict in Eastern Europe (Russia/Ukraine). We implore the aid of Our Lady to bring leaders of nations to the negotiating table, and to turn the hearts of all men towards reconciliation.
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
From this moment I entrust these initiatives to the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking her to sustain our efforts and those of humanity in order to achieve peace.
We ask you, Queen of Peace,
to help us respond with the power of truth and love
to the new and unsettling challenges of the present moment.
Help us also to pass through this difficult period,
that disturbs the serenity of so many people,
and to work without delay to build every day and everywhere
a genuine culture of peace.
- – Pope St John Paul II
