CWN Editor's Note: On August 22—the day on which he invited the faithful to pray for peace, justice, and the victims of war—Pope Leo XIV tweeted, “Today we celebrate the memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven, also invoked as Queen of Peace.”
“Let us fast and pray to implore the Lord for the gift of peace,” Pope Leo continued. “Let us pray together that hearts may be freed from hatred, that we may move beyond the logic of division and retaliation, and that a shared vision inspired by the common good may prevail.”
