Pope will lead '24 Hours for the Lord' Penitential
Service
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis will preside over a penitential
service at the Vatican in anticipation of the ’24 Hours for the Lord’
initiative.
The service will take place on Friday 17th March, one week
before all churches around the world are asked to offer the sacrament of
Confession, a request made by the Pontifical Council for the Promoting of the
New Evangelization.
The theme of the initiative this year comes from the Gospel
according to Saint Matthew: ‘I desire Mercy’ (Mt 9:13).
On Friday 24th March, the churches of Santa Maria in
Trastevere and Le Stimmate di San Francesco will remain open from 8pm for
Confession and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. On Saturday 25th March, a
service of thanksgiving will take place at 5pm in the church of Santo Spirito
in Sassia. Monsignor Rino Fisichella, the President of the Pontifical Council
for the Promoting of the New Evangelization, will preside over First Vespers of
the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
People around the world can show their support for the
initiative by using the #24hoursfortheLordhashtag.
