On this Holy Thursday, I am asking you for your prayers for Father Casey Cole, a Franciscan Friar priest based in North Carolina, USA. This kind, caring, compassionate, inclusive, warm and generous priest is the best example of Christ's love in the priesthood. May this young man be always blessed, guided and protected in his ministry and life, especially during this Easter Triduum and Easter season of 2026. Pray for him. Thank you, from John King.

Lord of Life, you shaped every human being in your image and likeness. We believe you created us for communion, not for war, for fraternity, not for destruction.
You who greeted your disciples saying, “Peace be with you,” grant us the gift of your peace and the strength to make it a reality in history. Today we lift up our prayer for peace in the world, asking that nations renounce weapons and choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy. Disarm our hearts of hatred, resentment, and indifference, so we may become instruments of reconciliation.
Help us understand that true security
does not come from control fueled by fear,
but from trust, justice, and solidarity among peoples. Lord, enlighten the leaders of the nations, so they may have the courage to abandon projects of death, halt the arms race, and place the lives of the most vulnerable at the center. May the nuclear threat never again dictate the future of humanity. Holy Spirit, make us faithful and creative builders of daily peace: in our hearts, our families, our communities, and our cities.
May every kind word, every gesture of reconciliation, and every choice for dialogue be seeds of a new world. Amen.

Just sharing and hoping to get more prayers: Regarding the ongoing wars in the Middle East, Pope Leo XIV asked priests to immediately open the doors of churches, invite people to pray the Holy Rosary and humbly pray before the Blessed Sacrament. The American pope urged the faithful to go to their churches or the nearest church to pray. The pope also issued a warning to the world, saying: “The wars in the Middle East and now in Ukraine and Crimea are very serious and will spread. To stop them, we must pray to God to fill the world with his mercy, to enlighten rulers with the Holy Spirit, to distinguish good from evil, and to fight together for peace and love.” Pope Leo XIV asked priests to celebrate the Eucharist simply and lovingly, and repeated his appeal to all Christians: “Pray, pray, pray, unite in prayer every day. Wherever you are in the world, at any time you like, put aside everything and ask God to send the Holy Spirit to the earth!” Say the Our Father three times and the Hail Mary three times. A prayer to send the Holy Spirit to earth: If you can, share this message with your loved ones. The Pope writes and asks for our help in spreading it. For world peace
We are asked to repeat this prayer from today: *Most Holy Trinity, Almighty God, Precious Blood of Christ, destroy Satan and nullify and paralyze the plots of those who control the whole world.*Immaculate Heart of Mary, destroy Satan and nullify and paralyze the plots of those who control the whole world. Amen
