24 Hours for the Lord on 4 and 5 March 2016

by | 29 Feb, 2016 | News

The Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation is inviting dioceses and parishes across the world to take part in the ’24 Hours for the Lord’ initiative for 2016. The initiative was received with great enthusiasm when it was introduced in 2014 and it will be celebrated again this year from Friday 4 to Saturday 5 March.

It was suggested to dioceses that people should be able to find special opportunities during these days for prayer and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Pope Francis himself will be participating in the initiative and will preside at a penitential service in Saint Peter’s Basilica in order to place the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the centre of the Church’s mission of the new evangelisation.

This year’s ’24 Hours for the Lord’ initiative takes place in the context of the Jubilee Year of Mercy.
