Day 1
To Overcome Contradiction in Laws Concerning Life. Dear Jesus, inspire the hearts of legislators to bring fairness into every law. In so doing, inspire lawmakers to remove contradiction from laws concerning life in the womb, so that no one is forced to support contraception or abortion against his free will. Do not allow religious freedom to be trampled under the feet of those who favor death in the womb. Amen.
Dear Jesus, allow the Truth of Holy Love to flood the heart of this nation. Place Truth in the center of every heart. Return this nation to its rightful place under the Dominion of God. Amen.

Day One
Opening Prayer:
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in us the fire of your love.
Today's Reflection:
From well before Cardinal Gibbons [in the late 1800s], Catholics in America have been advocates for religious liberty, and the landmark teaching of the Second Vatican Council on religious liberty was influentced by the American experience... We have been staunch defenders of religious liberty in the past. We have a solem duty to discharge that duty today... [We] address an urgent summons to our fellow Catholics and fellow Americans to be on guard, for religious liberty is under attack both at home and aborad.
