Superiors Call Religious to Pray for Peace

ROME, MARCH 14, 2007 (ZENIT.org).- Superiors-general of religious institutes are calling on congregations to observe March 30 as a day of prayer and fasting for peace.

The International Union of Superiors General made the appeal "to participate in a day of prayer and fasting for an end to violence and war in Darfur, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Northern Uganda, Nepal, Colombia, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and any place in the world where discord and division reign."

Laity and secular clergy praying and fasting that same day would add to this witness.
