In this episode of Franciscan Fridays, Brother Pius and Father Luke tackle one of the most difficult questions Catholics face today: Does God punish the world with war?

Drawing from the message of Our Lady of Fatima, the writings of Sister Lucia dos Santos, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we explore how Catholics should understand conflict, justice, and the moral principles behind war.

The discussion also covers the Church’s Just War doctrine, the importance of prayer during times of global conflict, and why the Rosary remains one of the most powerful spiritual responses to violence in the world.

The friars reflect on messages from Church leaders, the role of human freedom in sin and conflict, and how Catholics can respond faithfully through prayer, fasting, and trust in God.

In times of fear and uncertainty, the Church reminds us that peace ultimately comes from God.

🙏 Please pray the Rosary for peace in the world.
