Action for an unarmed and disarming peace
‘We cannot remain silent.’
The UISG invites worldwide prayer for peace
In the face of escalating violence and war, affecting numerous regions of the world, the International Union of Superiors General (UISG), calls for prayer, fasting, and action for an unarmed and disarming peace.
The organization, which brings together nearly 600,000 sisters worldwide, has convened an international moment of prayer for Friday, March 6, at 3:30 pm (Rome time), to be livestreamed and open to the faithful and all people of goodwill.
“As consecrated women religious, present in the most fragile contexts of society and close to those who suffer, we cannot remain silent in the face of a spiral of destruction that undermines human dignity and jeopardizes the future of new generations,” says Sr. Roxanne Schares, SSND, Executive Secretary of UISG.
Peace is a desire of all peoples, and it is the sorrowful cry of those torn apart by war,” the Pope Leo XIV affirmed. “Let us ask the Lord to touch the hearts and inspire the minds of those who govern, that the violence of weapons be replaced by the pursuit of dialogue.” (July 2025 Angelus Address).
