Calling Rome Home: Pope calls for day of prayer and penance for peace on Sunday

Prayer for the intercession of St. Isidore of Seville, Patron Saint of the Internet

Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all this is good, true, and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thy only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
Fr. John T. Zuhlsdorf

Pope calls for day of prayer and penance for peace on Sunday

Pope Benedict XVI has called on people of all religious faiths "to implore God for the precious gift of peace" in dedicating Sunday, July 23 as a day dedicated to penance and prayers for peace in the Middle East.

Specifically the pope has urged for prayers for

an immediate cease-fire between the sides
the establishment of a humanitarian corridor to bring aid to the suffering people
the start of reasonable and responsible negotiations so as to end the objective situations of injustice in that region.
