Union of Prayer
Union of Prayer was a previous term for some Roman Catholic lay ecclesial movements.[1]
They tended to be archconfraternities aiming at the conversion of various groups to Catholicism.[1] Some of these included:
- Association of Prayer and Penitence in honour of the Heart of Jesus - offering reparation for outrages against the Catholic Church and the pope
- Archconfraternity of Our Lady of Compassion for the Return of England to the Catholic Faith
- Pious Union of Prayer to Our Lady of Compassion for the Conversion of Heretics
- Archconfraternity of Prayers and Good Works for the Reunion of the Eastern Schismatics with the Church under the patronage of Our Lady of the Assumption
