Pope Leo XIV Urges Prayer and Fasting for Gaza
Faith Facts
- Pope Leo XIV has called for a day of prayer and fasting for peace in Gaza on Friday, August 22.
- The Pope encouraged the faithful to seek God’s intervention for peace and justice amid the intensifying conflict in the region.
- Catholics worldwide are encouraged to lift up those suffering from war, emphasizing the power of prayer to heal and restore hope.
As violence continues in Gaza, Pope Leo XIV is turning believers’ attention to the importance of prayer and fasting as a path to God’s peace. He has asked Catholics to intercede for all who suffer in the ongoing conflict, trusting in the Lord’s mercy.
Israel has intensified its ground campaign in Gaza, calling up thousands of reservists, as conflict between Israel and Hamas persists. The call to prayer aligns with Christian convictions that genuine peace flows from God, not through force alone.
The Pope called upon believers:
“Grant us peace and justice, and to wipe away the tears of those who suffer because of ongoing armed conflicts.”
Nearly 1,200 people lost their lives in the conflict’s beginning, and many are still held hostage. Leaders like Prime Minister Netanyahu remain committed to the return of those taken and to Israel’s security.
The Pope encouraged unity in prayer, stating:
“I ask you to include in your intentions the supplication for the gift of peace – a peace that is disarmed and disarming – for the whole world, especially for Ukraine and the Middle East.”
Advocating for peace, Christian leaders demonstrate the importance of faith-led responses in times of global turmoil. As believers, our prayers call on God to heal divisions and bring peace rooted in Christ’s love.

“We’re all called to be witnesses,” Lennox declares. This simple truth challenges the idea that only trained experts can effectively share the gospel.
