Catholic Bishop Calls for Month of Fasting and Prayer to Defeat Virginia Ballot Measures

Bishop Michael Burbidge is asking Catholics to spend October fasting and praying to defeat two proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution.

In a video posted Tuesday, Burbidge asked Catholics to observe two weekly disciplines during the month. On Fridays, he asked them to pray the Stations of the Cross and to fast—eating only one full meal and no meat. On Sundays, he asked for the Rosary and a fast from social media for at least a few hours, ideally before and after Mass.

Across the Diocese of Arlington in Northern Virginia, Catholic churches are displaying pop-up banners, distributing pamphlets, and saying prayers at the end of each Mass.

“Our Catholics Vote No campaign is rooted in prayer and fasting,” Burbidge said. He described the amendments as “two radically unjust ballot initiatives now before all Virginia voters.”

“It would be a powerful force if all in the Diocese of Arlington were united in these efforts,” Burbidge said. “We entrust them to the Lord’s amazing grace, so all that is just, right, and true will be done in this election.”
