Pray for Torture Victims

"Dear Friends,
I would like to invite you, regardless of your faith tradition, to consider signing up to spend a few minutes praying for Torture Victims and for the End of Torture everywhere." -- Fr. Michael Lapsley SSM, South Africa

Info from ACAT:
Why should you want to be part of this action?

- To show your involvement in wishing to give support to all those suffering torture around the world.
- To become part of the worldwide membership of those holding vigil because the Light should never be hidden under a bushel.
- To help publicise this great chain of prayer that will be taking place.

How it will work:
Each person agrees to pray for at least 15 minutes between 8:00 pm on the night of June 27 (Sat) through to 8:00 am the following morning (Sun). You can keep solitary prayer during the silent night hours or you can choose to come together with others locally in a communal act of prayer.
