The following links to information about the Countries of the world originated with the World Cycle of Prayer used in the Daily Office prepared by Mission St. Clare. It is meant as a way to extend our "Prayers for the people of _______" by providing an entrance into each country, through a government website, news source, or other information resource. The links were disabled in 2026 because most of them no longer worked. Leaving the list for historical interest. (Even some of the country names are inaccurate now.)
