Tips on Prayer and Fasting for Peace in Syria on Saturday


There has been a ton of information on websites about the day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria and world peace which Pope Francis has proclaimed for Saturday, September 7th, which is the vigil of the traditional birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the First Saturday of the Month.

As for prayer, this is an excellent day to go to Mass and offer it up for peace in Syria and world peace. Praying before our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration would be ideal.
