International Moment of Prayer for Peace

In the face of escalating violence and war, affecting numerous regions of the world, the International Union of Superiors General (UISG), representing more than 1,900 congregations of consecrated women religious present on six continents, calls for prayer, fasting, and action for an unarmed and disarming peace

The organization, which brings together nearly 600,000 sisters worldwide, has convened an international moment of prayer for Friday, March 6, at 3:30 pm (Rome time), 1:30am (Sydney time), Saturday March 7 to be livestreamed and open to the faithful and all people of goodwill.

Given the lateness of the hour in AEDT, you might like to join the prayer gathering virtually by offering a prayer for peace at a time more suitable for you.

“As consecrated women religious, present in the most fragile contexts of society and close to those who suffer, we cannot remain silent in the face of a spiral of destruction that undermines human dignity and jeopardizes the future of new generations,” says Sr. Roxanne Schares, SSND, Executive Secretary of UISG.
