Novena for the Anniversary of 10/7
Philos Catholic is a special project of The Philos Project which is dedicated to reconnecting Catholics to their Hebraic and Near Eastern Christian roots.
As we witness the ongoing challenges facing the Near East, our commitment to standing together in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters is more important than ever. Our hearts are heavy as we remember the lives lost and pray for those still held hostage, especially following the terrible events of October 7th.
In an act of remembrance and solidarity, Philos Catholic is praying a nine day novena to remember the victims, hostages, and heroes of the October 7th terrorist attack last year.
We aim to unite both Christian and Jewish communities in prayer and action, bearing witness to peace amidst rising violence and division. Sadly, we have also seen an alarming rise in antisemitic attacks and rhetoric, some even from within our own faith communities. It is our duty as Catholics to counter these harmful forces with charity and friendship.
Our goal is to bring together as many as possible along with the rest of the Philos community—will you be one of those to respond?
We invite you to join us in this solemn and profound act of solidarity, as we remember, stand together, and pray for peace in the Near East.
