Denver Newsroom, Mar 24, 2022 / 15:25 pm (CNA).
Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the evening of Friday, March 25, entrusting the nations to Mary’s help and protection amid the ongoing conflict there. The pope has asked everyone in the world to join him.
The consecration itself will take the form of a prayer that Pope Francis will recite during a penitential service in Rome.
Here’s the prayer. Your diocese or parish is likely organizing a gathering to pray it together.
If you want to join the pope at the beginning of the penitential service, the service will start at 5 p.m. Rome time. EWTN will broadcast the service on cable and online. CNA will also be carrying the livestream on our Facebook page.
If you want to join in praying with Pope Francis at the exact moment he is praying the prayer of consecration, that will likely happen closer to 6:30 p.m. Rome time, according to the pope.
