In this poignant 2026 Holy Hour homily for peace—called nationwide by USCCB President Archbishop Paul S. Coakley—Fr. John Paul confronts pervasive violence: urban bloodshed, gang wars, and the war in Ukraine.
Christ’s gift—“My peace I leave with you; not as the world gives”—offers inner tranquility amid chaos and empowers our prayers to advance healing in our nation and world.
