Back in September I took the liberty of starting a thread inviting all to pray for the election.
Well, that didn't work out so well, maybe.
But I am am still asking us to consider ADDING something to our daily prayers. I know you all are busy and I suspect many of you spend a good deal of time in prayer anyway. I do not seek to bind burdens on anyone's back. Though prayer sometimes involves teeth-gritting, that should not be the main theme! The main themes should always be hope, joy, and gratitude, IMHO.
But the prayer of a just man avails much, and we are justified in Jesus! So let us pray! Please consider adding ONE thing -- an act of charity and mercy, a little extra time in prayer and/or with Scripture, maybe a little fast -- or a even little extra physical exercise! But add just one thing to the Glory of our loving God and with a petition that He do HIS will in the coming election.
[Boring technical stuff for non-Catholics. The term "novena" refers to a period of prayer. It derives from, so to speak, riffing on the nine days of prayer between the Ascension and the Pentecost. Hence the name, which pretty much means "niney-thing" -- Mad Dawg translation.
["Perpetual Novena" just means we mean to keep on praying in a committed and regular way until something happens.]
A BTTT for today. Continue to pray for our nation.
Thanks. Has needed prayer more since the Civil War?
Please pray for the United States of America!
bk mark
Novena = nine days of any prayer.
Pray for our country. It can be a simple as you wish.
Tomorrow is 911.
Are you going to be praying?
Keep praying for our country.
Try the Patriotic Rosary.
Keep praying for our nation during this election.
The Fourth of July would be a great time to set aside nine days to pray this Novena.
Pray this Novena during the Republican Convention!
Praying for President Trump!
Prayers that the NFL will come to their senses.
BTTT! Pray for our Country. Choose nine days and just do it during Lent.
Some of us have decided to say a Rosary at 11:40 each day with the intention of and end to this corona crisis.
Please join us — your time.
Our pastor is live streaming a daily Mass at 12:05 pm since today was our last public Mass.
Let’s do this if we can’t do the Rosary. OR DO BOTH!
O Lord Jesus, forgive us our sins and restore the faith of Thy people. Holy is Thy name.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in the company of saints in heaven, amen.
Excellent idea. And I found an online Rosary recitation on YouTube.
“Please join us — your time.”
How would I do that. Sorry for my iggernunce.
Say a Rosary for the end of the corona crisis anytime.
If it worked at Lepanto I’m sure it can work here.
