On Election Day, Catholic faithful across the nation are turning to prayer before -- and after -- heading to the polls Nov. 5, with many parishes and dioceses offering Holy Hours.
Fr Gurnee said the initiative to have a day of adoration amid the Nov. 5 election"actually came from the laity," which"delighted" him. The vigil was dedicated to prayer for"election peace" and loving one's neighbor, according to a media brief sent to OSV News by Diocese of Phoenix communications director Brett Meister.
In the document, Bishop Zubik stressed he wished to make"abundantly clear" that he was not directing Catholics regarding their choice of candidates, but rather to"address some serious matters that are to be considered in light of Catholic teaching and beliefs.""Given the moral and weighty obligation that is ours, it is ever so wise for us to follow the advice of Pope Francis and pray before we cast our votes," wrote Bishop Zubik.
