The Institute Leadership Team of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas deeply laments the attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump on Saturday, July 14, and the resulting loss of life. We do not condone violence in any form against political candidates. We pray for all those affected by violence and condemn all acts of violence. We invite people of faith and mercy to join us in our prayer and work toward a more peaceful nonviolent world.
LCWR extends the following invitation to join other women religious in praying for peace in this election season. The Leadership Conference of Women Religious invites you to 24 hours of contemplative prayer 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 women religious make to the power of collective contemplation.
