Light a candle and pray for peace and hope for the people of Gaza this Sunday – Archbishop Martin: Parishes across Ireland are invited to unite once more in a Day of Prayer and Reflection for Gaza this Sunday, 24 August 2025. On Sunday, parishes will be asked to unite, once more, in a Day of Prayer and Reflection for Gaza. For 24 hours on 24 August, all are invited to pray and reflect in a particular way for the suffering people of Gaza. Innocent lives continue to be lost, many of them children and families while hunger, violence and devastation tighten their grip on a people caught in the crossfire.
“Ireland’s Bishops have condemned, in the strongest terms, the genocidal acts being carried out with the sanction of the Israeli government, actions that have led to the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. Such disproportionate violence is described as “unconscionable… and immoral for world leaders to stand by inactively.” The ongoing suffering of hostages held by Hamas and the cruel withholding of their remains from their families is also acknowledged and unequivocally condemned. In the face of such darkness, this call to prayer is a call to hope.
