Believing the power of prayer stretches across time zones, the National Council of Catholic Women is organizing a nationwide 72-hour prayer vigil for the weekend of Saturday June 10^th- Tuesday June 13^th 2023 to pray for peace and divine healing to come upon our nation.
Our hearts are breaking on behalf of families and communities who have lost loved ones through continued senseless acts of violence. The epidemic of crimes against citizens and immigrants alike is evidence of how far we have strayed from God’s will for our country. We know we must engage with policymakers, but we must also pray and fast to attack these forces of evil.

  Whether the weapon is a knife, a gun, or a speeding vehicle; whether it is targeted or random, every act of violence attacks the dignity of the human person. Not only are victims wounded or killed, but the perpetrators are not living in accordance with their own dignity.  NCCW encourages people of faith to pray against violence in all its forms and for the conversion of people who seek to do harm.
  As Catholics, we have many beautiful devotions that can be prayed individually or in community with others.  We have the Rosary, and we have Jesus Himself in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Because of this, we invite people to pray the Rosary and, when possible, make a special Holy Hour during this vigil before the Blessed Sacrament. This Rosary Vigil falls on the weekend of the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ and extends to our traditional Member Rosary Call on the 13^th.  We recognize some people are unable to go into their Church for reasons of health, transportation, etc., so please know that we welcome all prayers from wherever you are.
  We are asking that people sign up for slots to help us cover as many different hours as possible. If you do not sign up formally but decide to pray intentionally for this Vigil, we welcome you too! The time slots on the online list are set to the Eastern Time zone, just so we can keep track. If you live in California and want to pray at 7:00 a.m. local time, please sign up for 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
