Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer, fasting, and penance for peace next Friday, Oct. 27.
At 6 p.m. Rome time (Noon Eastern) on the 27th, Pope Francis will participate in “an hour of prayer in a spirit of penance to implore peace in our time, peace in this world. I ask all the particular Churches to participate by arranging similar activities involving the people of God,” the pope said.
