Catholic Church launches prayer campaign for peaceful elections

The Catholic Church has launched a "Prayer Power Campaign" coinciding with the start of the 90-day campaign period for the May national elections.

The Manila Cathedral began its prayer campaign on February 8, 2022, for a peaceful, credible, and transparent May 2022 polls.

This initiative, supported by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), aims to promote peaceful, credible, and transparent elections.

The prayer, created by the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), will be recited in all Masses.

The prayer seeks divine guidance for voters and candidates to ensure that leaders chosen reflect Christian values and teachings, and to be delivered from coercion, intimidation, violence, terrorism, dishonesty, lies, bribery, and fraud.
