Saint: Blessed Constantius of Fabriano OP (-1481)

MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.

The Holy Father has called a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the Ukraine, set for Ash Wednesday, March 2. In the meantime, we embrace the words of Cardinal Secretary of State Parolin in a statement released today: "We continue to pray and fast - as we shall do this coming Ash Wednesday - for peace in Ukraine and the entire world." We make peace our quest and aim (Rule of St. Benedict, Prologue 17) and continue to invoke, Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

BLESSED CONSTANTIUS OF FABRIANO,
PRAY FOR US.
