Bishops urge Catholics to pray for King Charles III

The Catholic bishops of England and Wales have urged Catholics “in our lands” to pray for King Charles III and Queen Camilla as the Coronation approaches. They issued a prayer card for use from 3 May to 5 May as it emerged that a “relic of the True Cross” donated by Pope Francis has been incorporated into the Cross of Wales, a new processional cross presented by the King as a centenary gift to the Church in Wales.
