(OSV News) — Ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election, Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori, who is also the vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is urging Catholics to pray before casting their ballots.
“This is a matter of prayerful discernment. A lot of times people don’t think about the need to pray, to discern before one votes,” he said in a recent USCCB Catholic Current video.
“If we Catholics engage in a prayerful, reflective process and we elevate the conversation, we are contributing to the common good of our country,” he added.
In an Oct. 24 email message to Catholics in Maryland, he encouraged them to read the USCCB’s teaching document “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility” as well as praying the Novena for Faithful Citizenship.
