Spanish archbishop Joan-Enric Vives prayed for the intercession of Our Lady of Nuria this week for Iraq, following the withdraw of U.S. combat troops.
During a celebration at the Shrine of Nuria, the archbishop referred to the end of the seven year combat mission and prayed that Iraq, where the land of Abraham, Ur, is located, will have new beginning.
Archbishop Vives also offered prayers for the victims of the flooding in Pakistan and for all holding public office, in reference to the upcoming elections in the Spanish region of Catalonia.
