Make America Holy Again Spiritual Warfare Campaign – Day 17
Reflections
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet if God wills that it continues… until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid another drawn with the sword… so still it must be said that the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and for his orphans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. – Abraham Lincoln, A Prayer for Peace, 1865
Level of Engagement
We are asking everyone to do, at least, numbers 1 thru 4 below. If at all possible, we would like as many warriors as possible to go “Full On Spiritual Navy Seal” by doing all eight of these, every day from October 20 to November 6 (Election Day).
- Pray in a State of Grace (Go to Confession)
- Believe God will answer our prayers
- October 20 – October 28 – Novena #1 – Pray the St. Jude Prayer
- October 29 – November 6 – Novena #2 – Pray the Immaculate Conception Prayer
- Pray the Rosary Daily
- Add Penance (recommend follow-through on some “get-healthier” challenge)
- Pray the St. Michael Chaplet (Call upon St. Michael & Nine Choirs of Angels)
- Enlist 18 Saints & 18 Holy Souls into your Holy Alliance, and pray for 18 people in need of conversion (Learn how HERE)
Novena to Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the US
In 1791, America’s first bishop, John Carroll, entrusted his diocese – which was the entire country at the time – to Mary. The U.S. bishops affirmed that dedication in 1846, declaring Mary the Immaculate Conception to be patroness of the United States.
The novena prayer comes from the 1959 dedication of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. It was approved that year by Cardinal Patrick O’Boyle, then-archbishop of Washington.
Novena Prayer to be prayed each day from October 29 – November 6:
Most Holy Trinity: Our Father in Heaven, who chose Mary as the fairest of your daughters; Holy Spirit, who chose Mary as your Spouse; God the Son, who chose Mary as your Mother, in union with Mary we adore your majesty and acknowledge your supreme, eternal dominion and authority.
Most Holy Trinity, we put the United States of America into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present the country to you. Through her we wish to thank you for the great resources of this land and for the freedom which has been its heritage.
Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the Catholic Church in America. Grant us peace. Have mercy on our President and on all the officers of our government. Grant us a fruitful economy, born of justice and charity. Have mercy on capital and industry and labor. Protect the family life of the nation. Guard the precious gift of many religious vocations. Through the intercession of our Mother, have mercy on the sick, the tempted, sinners — on all who are in need.
Mary, Immaculate Virgin, our Mother, Patroness of our land, we praise you and honor you and give ourselves to you. Protect us from every harm. Pray for us, that acting always according to your will and the will of your divine Son, we may live and die pleasing to God. Amen.
