Special Prayer Intentions
Bearing in mind our nation's challenges and the particularlyurgent need for wise, moral, civic leadership in addressing them, the Call to
Prayer will be adapted Friday, September 9, 2016 – Friday, November 11, 2016 to
highlight certain time-sensitive matters of national concern.
On Friday, September 9, the intention highlighted the
National Day of Prayer for Peace in Our Communities. The focus for the
remaining nine weeks will be on the upcoming elections.
In addition to the
current invitation to fast on Fridays, participants are encouraged to pray
one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for the week's intention and
for our civic leaders and upcoming elections.
