Vatican City, 23 March 2014 (VIS) –
Following today's Angelus prayer, the Holy Father Francis mentioned
that Monday 24 is World Tuberculosis Day, and he asked for prayers
for all those who suffer from this disease. The Pope also encouraged
all those present to celebrate “24 hours for the Lord”, a prayer
initiative which will be held on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 March. It
will be a moment of penance that will begin with a celebration in St.
Peter's Basilica on Friday afternoon, and various churches in the
centre of Rome will stay open during the night for prayer and
confession. “It will be a festival of forgiveness”, he said,
“that will also take place in many dioceses and parishes throughout
the world”.
