24 Hours for the Lord: A Global Lenten Initiative of Prayer and Reconciliation | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

"24 Hours for the Lord" will be celebrated globally, offering 24 hours of prayer and reconciliation from a church in every diocese around the world. The event, initiated by Pope Francis, invites participants to spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, with an emphasis on encountering Christ through confession. Pope Francis describes this initiative as "an important Lenten appointment for prayer." The event will take place on the eve of the Fourth Sunday of Lent, from Friday, March 28th, to Saturday, March 29th. The 2025 edition will be marked by the words of the Psalmist, "You are my hope" (Ps. 71:5), as part of the Jubilee Year dedicated to "Pilgrims of Hope." Originating in Rome at the Centro San Lorenzo, the event continues to inspire people worldwide, with dioceses and parishes encouraged to embrace this moment of prayer and forgiveness.
