The Holy Father Calls us to Prayer
and Imparts his Apostolic Blessing Urbi et Orbi
this Friday, March 27 at 1pm EST.
The Holy Father, Pope Francis, has invited all of the Christian faithful (ALL OF US) to take part in an opportunity that will strengthen human solidarity as we implore God's deliverance from this hour of difficulty. On Friday, March 27th, the Holy Father will impart his Urbi et Orbi blessing to the city and the world.
At 1:00pm in the afternoon in New Jersey, 6:00pm in the evening in Rome, the Holy Father will be praying in Saint Peter's Basilica. At that time we will ring the bells of our church at Christ the King in New Vernon. Feel free to ring any bells you have at your home! You are also invited to recite an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be at this time. CLICK HERE to join the Holy Father online at that time by going to the Vatican YouTube Channel.
When the Holy Father imparts the blessing, those who intend to make a sacramental confession, receive Holy Communion, and offer a prayer for the Holy Father, as soon as that is possible again, will receive a Plenary Indulgence.
Even though we are not together physically, these moments remind us that we are not alone. We are united in prayer and in our faith in Jesus Christ, in our hope due to Christ’s victory on the cross, and in love of Him who loved us first. We are a family, the Body of Christ.
