St John's Parish, Kilkenny, Ireland 
This month, Pope Leo XIV invites us to pray “that believers in different religious traditions might work together to defend and promote peace, justice and human fraternity.” At a time marked by conflicts, the Holy Father recalls that religions must be “bridges and prophecy,” and not “weapons or walls.”
