Pre-advent (-ish) work of mercy?

No need to respond. It's just an invite.

Fellow Catholics, anyone under the authority of Rome, other denominations, would you like to join for a week of praying for the world?

I recently came across a post on another platform about an elderly woman who prayed everyday for the entire world and then it made me think of Doctor Who when the Doctor was taken by whoever his arch nemesis was... I forget. It was with the black lady that was the companion... I forget. The plan was to have everyone say the name of the Doctor at the same time to give him his power back? Something like that. I forget 😏

But then I thought about so many stories of people taking praying together, especially the Rosary for a specific cause and God coming to the rescue... obviously. Like the Battle of Lepanto, or the women praying the Rosary in Brazil a few decades ago against a tyrannical communist regime.

Also Advent is coming.

So any prayer will do. A rosary, an Our Father, something for the conversion of sinners (ourselves included, we ain't saints yet!!). My parish is starting a novena to The Immaculate Conception this Friday (an idea).

"under the authority of Rome"?
that is against christian book called new testament. no authority over anybody except jesus.

and what kind of "invite" if you are obligated by the pope?

Fun fact

The admiral who commanded the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Lepanto was John of Austria, who later became best known as the historical model for Don Juan, the archetypal player

Same here. We aren't long after the adoration of blessed sacrament.

It has been ages since I’ve prayed. Thanks for calling my attention to the idea.
