“The best thing you can do is to pray.

“Please pray that we won't lose faith, that we won't give up trusting in God.”

– A priest in China

Praying the Regina Caeli

Each day during Eastertide, staff in our national offices in 17 countries gather together at 12 noon to pray the Regina Caeli. You can use the audio files on the Praying the Regina Caeli page to join us in prayer at midday – and to say your own prayers during the day.

Praying the Rosary

Praying the Rosary for the persecuted Church is a great way to show solidarity with our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ. And you can strengthen your faith by reflecting on the lives of Mary and Jesus while you listen to the Rosary.
