Thank you kindly for posting.
You’re quite welcome...can’t think of a better cause and Fr. Corapi is one of my favorite people...
Fr. Corapi’s thoughts about the pro-abortion “Catholic” politicians in D.C. “they should have been excommunicated years ago.”
I’m in!!!!
I have been saying the Rosary since Oct.7 and will continue until Nov. 4th. May God Bless us all.
Thanks for the posting.
I have been praying the rosary for this election and will join you all in this novena. Thanks, Kelly!
Bump
Thanks for posting kellynla!!
My family and I will be joining this novena.
Holy Mary, Queen of Victory, Pray for us!
Could you send this to you ping list? Thanks!
I’ll be joining in this novena beginning tonight.
Our Lady of Fatima promised us peace if we were to pray to her.
I’ve been saying the rosary for peace for a while, and will try to get in an extra rosary when possible between Oct. 27th and Nov. 4th.
I will definitely take part in this novena. The Rosary is at this point our most powerful weapon.
Joan Rosenhauer, Associate Director for the USCCBs Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development, said that the special novena is part of the bishops campaign to help Catholics develop well-formed consciences for addressing political and social questions. The bishops issued their statement on forming consciences for faithful citizenship in November 2007.
Helen Osman, USCCB Secretary of Communications, expressed hope that the novena could help Catholics enter into prayerful reflection as they prepare to vote. Seventy-one percent of all visitors to the USCCBs web site download the free podcasts of the daily NAB readings. These same visitors are encouraged to use the novena podcast for prayer. Osman said that the USCCB wants to support Catholics as they weigh pre-election issues and that providing a prayer resource on the Web can help us focus on our common values and identity as Catholics. The novena emphasizes the dignity of life, justice, and peace.
The Novena for Faithful Citizenship runs for nine days and can be used consecutively, one day each week, for nine days prior to the election, or in any way that works best for a community or individual, said Rosenhauer.
The novena will be available for download until the election and it can be downloaded online at http://www.faithfulcitizenship.org/resources/podcasts.

May I suggest we fast along side our rosary novena? I understand fasting makes our prayers more effacious. Please spread the word.
