On the occasion of the Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace, proposed by the UISG (International Union of Superiors General) for August 14, 2025, we join together in prayer with open and compassionate hearts.

This prayer, prepared by the UISG to accompany this day, invites us to turn to God in a time marked by war, violence, and division.

Entrusting ourselves to the intercession of Mary, Mother of Peace, we pray that all peoples may rediscover hope, justice, and the gift of reconciliation, in communion with many around the world who long for peace.

Mary, Mother of Peace,
in this time wounded by war,
we entrust to you all peoples torn apart by hatred,
all families divided, all hearts broken by violence.

You who held sorrow in silence,
teach us how to keep watch,
not to look away,
to remain close to those who suffer,
to pray even when words are no longer enough.

Lord Jesus, grant peace to our world,
not the peace imposed by force,
but the peace born of justice,
of forgiveness, of truth, of love.

Make us instruments of your peace:
hands that lift up,
voices that console,
hearts that open wide.

We pray for women and children who are victims of war,
for migrants on the run, for those imprisoned by fear.
We pray for those who have lost hope,
and for those who continue to sow hatred.

May our fasting become solidarity,
may our prayer become action,
may our silence give voice to the voiceless.

Mary, Queen of Peace,
intercede for us,
so that in every corner of the earth
the light of the Gospel may shine again.

Amen.

La paz, la justicia social, la defensa de los más débiles, lo llevo en en el corazón desde niña. Era obligación de todos en nuestra familia compartir con quien no tenía, abrazar a quienes estaban solos, abrir la casa y los brazos a quienes lo habían perdido todo. Hoy agradezco a Dios, haber vivido así toda mi vida y doy gracias por quienes me educaros así y que hoy están ya gozado de la presencia de Dios. Muchas veces creo escuchar sus voces que me lo repiten una vez más para que no desfallezca. Pido hoy a la Trinidad que nos de luz, impulso y fuerza para ello.
