Pope Francis has called for a day of Fasting and Prayer for Peace in Syria, in the entire Mid-East region, and throughout the whole world, to be held this coming Saturday, 7 September 2013. 

Speaking ahead of the traditional Angelus Prayer, with pilgrims gathered in Saint Peter’s Square, today, Pope Francis said: “On [Saturday] the 7th of September, here [in St Peter’s Square], from 7 P.M. until Midnight, we will gather together in Prayer, in a spirit of penitence, to ask from God this great gift [of Peace] for the beloved Syrian nation, and for all the situations of conflict and violence in the world.”
