Celebrating our Founder Bishop Ketteler.

Let us pray…

LCWR invites you to engage in collective contemplative prayer in a virtual prayer space throughout the days of the United States Republican and Democratic National Conventions and the days of the National Election.

These days of prayer are open to all, bridging the divide between culture, religion and politics through the witness and commitment we make to the power of collective contemplation.

The virtual prayer space will be open during the following days:
July 15, 12:00 AM ET -- July 18, 11:59 PM ET

August 19, 12:00 AM ET -- August 22, 11:59 PM ET

November 4, 12:00 AM ET -- November 6, 11:00 PM ET

Link to the virtual prayer space: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85084518325
We will be using the Zoom Webinar format, so participants will not be seen, and the comment function will be turned off. All those who sign in will see the invitation to pray together and the number of those who have gathered together in contemplation.

May 1 is International Workers' Day, also known as Labor Day or May Day.

“By 1869, Ketteler had developed his program for society. The Church, he said, had a right to speak about economic and political affairs because they involved morality—and the Church is mankind’s guide to the moral life. Indeed, he thought some priests in every diocese should undertake studies in economics to address the problems of the day from knowledge instead of ignorance. The state, he said, needed to recognize cooperative organizations of workers. It needed to pass laws to prohibit child factory labor, limit the working hours of youth and adults, and assure that Sunday would be a day of rest for all. In addition, Ketteler said the government should inspect factories and close dangerous and unsanitary workshops. The government had to be involved, as well, in making sure workers were paid just wages and that they received support if they were injured and unable to work.”
