Vatican
City, 26 March 2015 (VIS) – Carmelite communities around the world
today-26 March, the fifth centenary of the birth of St. Teresa of
Avila, foundress of the Discalced Carmelite Order-are celebrating in
the way deemed most appropriate and suitable, with a day of prayer
for peace.
“Prayer
for peace,” the Carmelite Vicar General, Fr. Emilio Martinez said,
“is a gift that we offer to St. Teresa and what better than to do
what she asked of us, which is to keep the concerns of the world at
heart.”
During
the prayer, the communities will especially keep in mind persecuted
Christians and countries at war, praying for the cessation of all
public and domestic violence. The organizers of the day of prayer ask
that each house and convent join the initiative and light a candle.
Participation on social networks can be marked #Prayday.
