[Cicero]

I always pray for my family, and for my dead, but I find myself praying more these days for my country. We really need those prayers.

For your list, I would suggest Fr. Frank Pavone.

I always pray for my family, and for my dead, but I find myself praying more these days for my country. We really need those prayers. For your list, I would suggest Fr. Frank Pavone.

There was only one reason I neglected to add Fr. Pavone to the list. While in Aurora, IL, I was attending and filming a pro-life event and Fr. Pavone came to lead it. After the event, instead of praying the Rosary, he was talking with people on the sidelines while three local priests led the prayers to Our Lady. That was a disappoint to me (as this was a HUGE Planned Parenthood we were trying to keep from operation, and who better to call on than Mary to get that accomplished, especially from a "famous" Catholic priest) and a pro-life friend of mine saw I was upset, so he got in touch with Fr. Euteneuer to help clear things up. Fr. Euteneuer pretty much said that that was how Fr. Pavone operated, not placing strong emphasis on the Rosary, and since this particular post was about the tie-in to The Battle of Lepanto (which is all about reciting the Rosary to save us), I left him off. But, yes, Fr. Pavone has done an extraordinary amount for the pro-life cause. He's a great man and fine priest.

And I know what you mean by praying more for your country.:)
