Mary M posted this link to the Priests for Life Nine Week Novena for the the Election -- which starts Sept 1 and runs till Nov 4.

This will be such a contentious election this year ... and not just the Presidential election, but state and local elections too ....

Mary, thank you so much for posting this. I remember that we prayed the last presidential election as well.

We didn't , which is why I thought I'd make it a sticky on here AND put it on my igoogle calendar (AND also give a copy to dh who is MUCH better about remembering these things).

May God watch over us and help us this election year!

Thanks Anne! If you go to the link for the prayer, you can send Priests for LIfe an email that you're doing the novena ... it will probably put you on their email list, but that's not such a bad thing!

Adding this novena to every calendar in sight in this house - I'm so terrible about remembering that I was supposed to start a novena...4 days ago. I don't want to forget this one!

Thank you both Marys for linking us!

A friend from Colorado sent me a 54-day rosary novena ... with lots of prayers, meditations, etc. It's 10 pages so if anyone would like to do that one (it starts on September 12th and goes thru Nov 4), just pm me your email and I'll send it out.

I KNOW I have a better chance of remembering the Priests for Life prayer, but I'd sure like to try to do at least some of the rosary novena!

Posting a reminder that if you are going to pray this novena over the nine weeks preceding the election, it starts today.
