This week, two Feast Days remind us of important truths. St Bridget of Sweden, patron of Europe, reminds us that we are always stronger united, and that love and fraternity can overcome our differences. St Mary Magdalen reminds us that nobody and no situation is beyond the redemption and love of God.

And so, following more shocking attacks in Gaza and Sudan, continuing conflict in Ukraine, and political and civil unrest in many more places, this week we pray our Mission Rosary for an outpouring of love throughout the world. May the love we hold and share be stronger than any force which opposes it.

‘Love is stronger than war’

– Suhail Abo Dawood, Gazan Catholic student and columnist for L’Osservatore Romano, who was seriously wounded in last week’s attack on the Holy Family parish in Gaza.

Thank you for joining us each week for our Mission Rosary – Missio’s beautiful way to pray for the world.
