MEXICO CITY, 22 (NE)

    Less than two weeks before the presidential elections in Mexico, Bishops in this country called faithful to participate in a nationwide campaign of prayer to be held June 30.

    In a message sent by the Permanent Council of the Mexican Bishops Conference, the Prelates expressed their confidence that the civic event may take place with transparence and peace. "In these grave moments of our life", the message reads, "we ask Jesus Christ Our Lord to give us His light and His spirit and help us to open our minds and discover His will. and that we may also have the courage to put it into practice". "Any way the constitutes a fraudulent form to obtain a vote is dishonest, censurable and is grave moral fault against human dignity, and may even be an offense to God", the Mexican Bishops warned.
