We pray for the students of Bethlehem University - جامعة بيت لحم
and all who seek education under occupation.

You know the checkpoints they face,
the fear they carry,
and the courage required simply to learn.
Bless their teachers who create spaces of hope
where dignity is protected and peace is taught in every lesson.

Strengthen all who choose hope over despair,
who walk uncertain roads,
and who still believe in a future shaped by truth and justice.

Open our hearts to stand in real solidarity —
not only when it is easy,
but when the Gospel calls us to accompany those who suffer.

Amen.

Br Peter Bray FSC, former Vice-Chancellor of Bethlehem University, shares what it means to lead education under occupation in Palestine — where checkpoints, walls, and faith meet in the struggle for dignity and hope. Episode 1 of the four-part series In the Shadow of the Holy Land.

As a prayer community serving an emerging Church, Bread 4 Today invites us not only to pray but also to reflect deeply on the path ahead.

This thoughtful article by John Warhurst challenges us to consider where the Church stands one year after the Synod on Synodality. It’s an invitation to prayerful discernment, to ask how we, as a people of faith, can take the next steps toward a more participatory and Spirit-led Church.

A great reflection for anyone seeking renewal, hope, and direction on the journey together.

On All Souls' Day we remember those who are living with God.
God, help us to live our faith in service to others so that we may grow closer to you.
God, help us to follow in the footsteps of the Saints, who have shown us how to serve the Kingdom of God right here on earth.
God, help us to remember those who are already with you in heaven and help us to pray for those who are still waiting to be with you.

Well played ;)

His Holiness Mar Awa III, an Assyrian-American prelate who serves as the 122nd Catholicos-Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, recently gifted Pope Leo a Chicago Cubs jersey.

Born in Chicago, Mar Awa knows the city’s great baseball divide, and knowing that Pope Leo is a passionate White Sox fan, the gesture carried a touch of friendly rivalry.

Blessed be you, universal matter, immeasurable time, boundless ether, triple abyss of stars and atoms and generations: you who by overflowing and dissolving our narrow standards or measurement reveal to us the dimensions of God. - Fr Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
