It has come to my intention that one of the US election candidates is carrying upon them, a miraculous medal given to them by Eduardo Verastegui, and will continue to keep it with him through this election campaign. What an amazing fact!!! I'm floored by it and greatly encouraged!
I think this is an important news. I hope many ladies will join with me to pray as often as they can during the day and in the night (when they wake to fussy babies etc) and will enourage their children to take this extremely important issue to their hearts and pray for the best outcome for this election.
I would suggest one of the two following prayers that are connected to the miraculous medal:
"Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!"
or
"Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen."
I know many are offering rosaries which is wonderful, please continue to do it but these simple, beautiful prayers can be offered in between these other prayer committments, they can be said anywhere and everywhere.
I have put an image on my Miraculous Medal Prayer Petition Mobile to remind myself and the children all day long, pray for these elections!!!
Lastly, I would encourage all to get this special news out to as many people you know who will also join in prayer, these prayers are the blessed, small ones that can fill up the gaps in our day and night, while we are working, playing and even waking in our sleep. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this news could get out to thousands or millions in these final days leading up to the elections?
If anyone would like the information on this news article or the email I have done up for this purpose, please don't hesitate to pm me and I'll send it to you via pm.
Coming back to add: When Eduardo asked him to take the medal, he pulled out of his own pocket a medal of Mother Teresa, and he said he would carry the two together from now on...I am sure Mother Teresa has her hand in this, for look at her connection to this medal.

Thank you for all those who have responded, here and privately, I feel so passionately that prayer is the remedy and have blogged about this very subject also citing what event that also took place in the 2000 elections as well.
