The number of prayers is being updated daily & the current number after 2 weeks is up to 82,000+

To highlight this milestone anniversary in a “viral” manner, the Digital Synod launched a special online map featuring virtual lighted candles representing the prayers of the faithful worldwide for him. Anyone who wishes to join the initiative will find an invitation on the Vatican News website to pray the Hail Mary. Cindy Lopez, Communications Coordinator, accepted the invitation on behalfof the Congregation and staff members to pledge 100 total Hail Marys to be prayed initiating a virtual candle lit on the map in Houston, Texas. In the end, the Holy Father will receive the map with the ‘little candles’ which represents the Hail Marys that arebeing prayed for him around the world.
