The Silent Minute Prayer Movement – one minute every evening at 7:00 PM
Here is a beautiful and manageable way of bringing regularity to our prayers for Ukraine into our homes.
The Order of Malta recently sent out this invitation. It proposes “The Silent Minute” prayer movement that was begun “in the United Kingdom by Major Wellesley Tudor Pole O.B.E. during World War II. The Silent Minute encouraged people to devote one minute of prayer at a particular time each evening to pray for peace and an end to conflict.”
They suggest “we do the same for the war in the Ukraine. This effort is spreading around the world and the time designated for the United States is 7 PM.” They encourage us “to set an alarm for 7 PM each evening and take a minute to pray for world peace and the end of the war in the Ukraine.” This is essential. Without prayer, the wisdom needed and the resolve called for will only be of human origin. Please consider this proposal.
Many blessings,
