By J.Lo

“Everyone is expected to offer sacrifices and prayers and to have  Holy Hour in each parish,” Roman Catholic  Diocese of Malolos has scheduled Oct. 24 as  day of contemplation and prayer, for  intention of peace for Israel and Palestine.

In its official Facebook page, Bishop Dennis Villarojo of  Diocese of Malolos announced  Oct. 24 has been designated as  day of Contemplation and Prayer for Peace in Israel and Palestine.

This is in line with  appeal of  Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Eminence Pierbattista Cardinal Pizzaballa, for  entire Catholic Church to unite in their cause.

“Come, let’s pray together for peace in  Holy Land,”  diocese added.

For  Archdiocese of Manila, Vice Chancellor Fr. Carmelo Arada Jr. issued  two-page circular last Oct. 14 which requested their clergymen to pray  rosary on Oct. 17 and offer it for peace in  Holy Land, especially Israel and Palestine.

Call  to prayers for peace was raised amid  ongoing conflict in the region.
