Following the Pope’s appeal to the world to pray for peace as the war in Lebanon and the Middle East continues to rage on, Kenya’s Catholic bishops have responded to the call by uniting to organise a National Day of Prayer for Peace in the Middle East.
Speaking on behalf of the bishops, Fr Vincent Wambugu, Secretary-General of the Kenya Episcopal Conference, said that the Kenya Episcopal conference was joining the Vatican and people of goodwill to pray for the restoration of peace in the Holy Land.
"(The) Kenya Episcopal Conference joins the Holy Father in calling upon all Catholics and people of goodwill to pray for the restoration of peace in Holy Land. KEC supports the Holy Father's initiative and invites all to pray for this worthy cause,” he said.
He went on to say that Catholic bishops in Kenya would have a special day of prayer in all the dioceses, during which all Catholics and people of goodwill across the country are invited to unite in a peace prayer for the Middle East.
