"We Cannot remain Silent": Invitation to 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 3:30pm (Rome time) which is 1:30 am March 7 (Sydney time), to be livestreamed here and open to the faithful and all people of goodwill.
Given the late hour, join in by offering a prayer for peace during the day.

“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.
