YANGON: Catholics in Buddhist-majority Myanmar are seeking divine help to end the bloodshed as the country has been in turmoil following the military coup on Feb. 1.

Some dioceses have appealed to Catholics to fast, say the rosary, and conduct adoration and novena prayers with the intention of bringing a peaceful solution to the Southeast Asian nation’s political crisis.

The diocese of Taungngu designated March 21 a day of fasting and prayers and the clergy, religious, catechists and laypeople were urged to participate in their respective places from 6 am to 6 pm.

The clergy were urged to start with Mass at 6 am followed by Adoration of Blessed Sacrament until 6 pm.

For places where there are no priests, laypeople have been urged to start with morning prayers followed by saying the rosary in groups.--ucanews.com
