Pope Francis is urging all Christians to join with him in praying the Lord’s Prayer on Wednesday 25 March at 11am GMT (12pm CET).
Here is a link to his letter here
Bishop Simon is encouraging parishes to take part:
"This would be a powerful demonstration of shared faith and heartfelt desire for God to show us his mercy, and one that people unused to praying but wishing to could adopt tomorrow.
Our current needs are perfectly expressed in the words Jesus taught us to pray.
Please share this widely with people in your community."
