Prayers for Times of Distress

At this moment, the world is experiencing a time of great distress.

In addition to the many conflicts and wars already present before February 28, 2026 — in South Sudan, in Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Myanmar, among others — the new crisis in the Middle East has only added to the violence that seems to be spreading across the world day by day.

International Ecclesiastical Assistant for Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), Father Anton Lässer, CP, offers you Prayers for Times of Distress.

This initiative from the international office of our pontifical charity is presented by ACN Canada. We invite you to download the prayers and share them with those around you.  

United in prayer and in hope, with Our Lady of Fatima, patroness of Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
