Catholics Asked To Come Together For National Prayer On Good Friday

The Diocese of Sioux City is urging all parishioners to join in a special national prayer for the end of the coronavirus pandemic. President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los Angeles, Calif., presented the request that Catholics participate in praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at 11 a.m. on Good Friday, April 10. The event will be livestreamed on the internet. “Future generations will look back on this as the long Lent of 2020, a time when disease and death suddenly darkened the whole earth,” Gomez says. “As we enter into Holy Week, these most sacred days of the year, Catholics across the United States and the world are living under quarantine, our societies shut down by the coronavirus pandemic.” Gomez asks all to join together as one family of God here in the United States. Those wishing to participate can log on to the livestream through the link included below.
