Fatima, Portugal, Jul 11, 2005 / 22:00 pm
The international shrine of Our Lady, located in Fatima, Portugal, will hold an evening prayer vigil today in remembrance of the victims of last week’s terrorist attacks in London.
Participants will pray in spiritual unity with all those still suffering after the violence and ask Our Lady, Mother of God, for peace and an end to terrorism.
The Portuguese office of the international organization Aid to Church in Need (Fundação Ajuda à Igreja que Sofre) expressed its solidarity to the victims’ families, those who were injured and all British people.
ACN Portugal’s staff and about 100 benefactors will participate at the vigil. They have been on retreat there since July 9.
