An Election Novena has been organized at Fireside Chat.
Election Novena
Our Father. . .
Hail Mary. . .
Glory be. . .
Lord, into your hands do we commend our country during
this time of election. Be with those who vote, be with
those who work the polling stations, be with those who
count the votes, certify the elections, and all who are
involved with the process. Lord, we pray that in our
choosing, we may reflect your choice and that our
country be in your hands, now and forever, Amen.
O Most gracious Virgin Mary, beloved Mother of Jesus
Christ, our Redeemer, intercede with him for us that we
be granted the favor which we petition for so earnestly
in this novena...O Mother of the Word Incarnate, we
feel animated with confidence that your prayers in our
behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of
God. O Glorious Mother of God, in memory of your joyous
Immaculate Conception, hear our prayers and obtain for
us our petitions.
that the hand our Our Father guide our country during
this upcoming election,
that those who would disrupt and disturb the heritage
of freedom and truth be restrained,
and that the hand of God guide, direct and determine
our leaders this election cycle and always.
O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ,
you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this
earth; you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray
for us and obtain for us from him the granting of my
petition if it be the Divine Will. Amen.
St. Thomas More, adorer of Christ's Passion, who put
prayer before all else, devoted husband and father,
defender of the Church, perfect model of friendship,
impervious to all bribery, committed to the common
good, who reverenced civil and Divine law, civil judge
of unimpeachable integrity patron of those who hold
public office, pray for us now at this critical time of
election, where so much is at stake, where the lives of
the unborn and those most vunerable hang in the
balance, where the lives of the downtrodden and
defenseless against the terrorist are most at risk.
Pray for us, St. Thomas More, martyr for the truth,
that with this election, we may draw ever closer to the
way God would have our country governed.
Little Souls, children unborn, holy innocents, ripped
from your mothers' wombs and now in the hand of our
loving Lord, pray for us now, that the election may go
to the one most likely to help stem the holocaust of
souls of the most vunerable, the one most likely to be
the champion of life and set our nation on the right
track.
Amen.

Thought I'd bump this up one more time. It is a little long, but what I'm doing is printing out several copies and highlighting in two colors. Then we will pray in choral style with 2 groups, like the Psalms are done in the Liturgy of the Hours. Am encouraging the dc to fast from criticism and harsh speech for the election of pro-life leaders.

Love, love, love this idea, Gwen. I think because we're still transitioning this behavior has increased...
I will mention it to these treasures.
Thank you!

Please remember to pray for the defeat of Amendment #2 in Missouri - it is a pro-cloning initiative funded by a wealthy couple that own the research institute in Kansas City. It is David against Goliath as usual.

Amie,
Thanks for this reminder that the whole NATION needs our prayers this election day....there are so many insidious amendments, referendums and propositions out there that could have devastating long-term impact on all aspects of living a moral life....
