FOR PEACE AMONG THE NATIONS That God would inspire light to shine on all parts of the world that know the darkness of division and war, especially in Ukraine, Israel-Gaza and the many conflicts that are forgotten but still persist.

THE PARADOX OF ABUNDANCE  Over 800 million people go hungry each day. Yet the world produces over 4 billion tonnes of food and we only need 3.7 billion tonnes to feed everyone. From all this food produced, a third is wasted. As Pope Francis said, "Each of us has a role to play in transforming food systems for the benefit of people and the planet." Let’s respond to his call! CAFOD’s new campaign is called Fix the Food System. Please visit: www.cafod.org.uk/food for more information.
