About this sermon

A global initiative highlighting the power of prayer and fasting is set to begin next week. The 32nd International Week of Prayer and Fasting kicks off October 12th with an in-person event in Fairfax, Virginia, and online talks from Jim Wahlberg and Bishop Emeritus Robert J. Baker among others. This year's theme is "Conquering the Darkness. Triumph of Mercy, Hope and Healing." The cofounders, Ted and Maureen Flynn, join us and Maureen gives us a little background on the International Week of Prayer and Fasting while Ted explains how they arrived at this year's theme of "Conquering Darkness." Maureen discusses what is so unique about the combination of fasting and prayer when it comes to trying to fight these spiritual battles the world is facing today. They fill us in on how people can get involved in this year's event. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
