Prayer Vigil on the Day of an Execution (English/Spanish)

Drawn from the resources compiled for a Prayer Vigil in Texas, this bilingual resource is aimed at assisting those planning prayer vigils in states where condemned prisoners are to be executed.

Although it is specifically worded for a vigil on the night before or day of a scheduled execution, it is easily adaptable to other times. It includes:

• prayers,
• readings from the Scriptures,
• suggestions for preparing information about the person to be executed,
• sample announcements for bulletins or other media.
