- Today is the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary. It is also the first anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel that sparked the ongoing conflict. The Holy Father has requested a day of prayer and fasting, so it would be appropriate to say at least part of the Rosary today. You can join Communion & Liberation this evening at 9:00 as they pray the Rosary. "Prayer and fasting are the weapons of love that change history, the weapons that defeat our one true enemy: the spirit of evil that foments war.” (Pope Francis)
