Leadership Conference of Women Religious to Hold Virtual Prayer Space Leading Up to U.S. Presidential Election
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious, of which we are a member, will host a virtual contemplative prayer space during several important weeks leading up to the United States presidential election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. This prayer space is open to all and will feature a video loop of a burning candle with music and some prayers for peace. The schedule is as follows:
Week of July 15–18 (Republican National Convention)
Opens: Monday, July 15, 12 a.m. (ET)
Closes: Thursday, July 18, 11:59 p.m. (ET)
Week of August 19–22 (Democratic National Convention)
Opens: Monday, August 19, 12 a.m. (ET)
Closes: Thursday, August 22, 11:59 p.m. (ET)
Week of November 4–6 (Days surrounding National Election)

Closes: Wednesday, November 6, 11:59 p.m. (ET)
You’re invited to join LCWR during these hours to pray for “the discernment of delegates, voters and elected officials; peace and nonviolence in the process of nomination and election; and the transformation necessary for each of us in this time of polarization and division.”
The prayer space is held in 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.
