Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, Pope Francis has repeately called for and prayed for peace.
He previously named October 17 as a worldwide day of fasting and prayer for an end to the violence in the Middle East.
Now, he is calling for those prayers to be renewed across all religions on Friday, October 27.
"I invite sisters and brothers of the various Christian denominations, those belonging to other religions and those who care about the cause of world peace to join in," Pope Francis said.
At 6 p.m., Pope Francis will hold a prayer vigil in St. Peter's Square, including Eucharistic adoration and a Rosary.
As the war rages on, the pope has invited all faithful to participate in this day of prayer, whether in person at the Vatican or across the world.
