The 5th annual week of prayer and fasting – World Prayer Movement 1994 – has been set for the week of October 2-8, 1994.

The movement is a national and international program that stretches around the globe and bridges all denominations in its call for a week of prayer for peace in our hearts, our homes, our world, and an end to all killing, including abortion. All Christians are asked to say seven “Our Fathers” each day during the week. Unplugging home televisions is also encouraged because of the violence brought into homes by this so-called “entertainment” medium.

The World Prayer Movement is officially sponsored by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
