"Is it consistent to profess our beliefs in church on Sunday, and then during the week to promote business practices or medical procedures contrary to those beliefs? Is it consistent for practicing Catholics to ignore or exploit the poor and the marginalized, to promote sexual behavior contrary to Catholic moral teaching, or to adopt positions that contradict the right to life of every human being from conception to natural death? Any tendency to treat religion as a private matter must be resisted. Only when their faith permeates every aspect of their lives do Christians become truly open to the transforming power of the Gospel. "
FULL TEXT
I spoke to my priest during confession Saturday, about my anger in that none of the candidates were addressing the life issue.
He told me to fast and pray that our nation be spared the nightmare he feared may be coming.
When I got home from mass today one of the first threads I saw here was of a speech Sarah had given on Life.
There are large groups of intercessors fasting and praying and will do that until this election. It is a 40 day fast and prayer. They were all called by The Lord to do this. It’s been going on for quite some time now. They are praying for McCain/Palin to be elected...they are the ones The Lord has called not BHO. So I’d say let’s get real here.
Thank you for this post!!!!!!
I am in tears!!
Our NATION must come back to God!
I am committed to calling out to God over the next few weeks before the election.
God’s Soverign Will be done, and it will. Reading the Old Testament this year has been a eye opener at God’s dealing with wayward children!

AMEN....OH Lord I cry out to you right now with these my brothers and sisters.
We have turned so far from You. Our hearts have been given to material gods; to folly. We stand in our sinfulness and cry out , Father God have mercy on us. We repent of our sin and fall prostrate before You. In wrath , remember mercy Lord.
Our Country is in peril. Don’t forsake us Lord as a nation. There are a reminant still here who love You and want this land to remain a Free and God fearing Land.
Restore to us Lord, honor and decency.
Help those who call on Your Name to repent of their sinful ways and return again to Your Lordship.
Father God, we need a miracle of Your Divine Grace over the next few weeks in our beloved land. We are looking to YOU , the LIVING TRUE GOD to deliver us from the evil that is coming down against us.
Help us to hold YOUR BANNER HIGH and STAND STILL and see “ your salvation”.
In the HOLY and RIGHTOUS Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, may it be.
Amen
AMEN AND AMEN...
Amen! Thank you.
Praying continues in earnest.
Thank you for this post. I will be praying and appreciate the marvelous guidelines for prayer in your post.
McCain is no Reagan, but he's no Obama also. Christians were praying so hard for Reagan back in 1980 and a miracle happened. The MSM was trying to bury Reagan the way Goldwater was buried and we received 4 years of LBJ afterwards. Let's pray that God spares America and intervenes in this most crucial election.
Dear Darth,
If you believe in the power of prayer and know the Lords heart to see His people gathered in Spirit to pray...I want to extend to you an invitation.
My name is Marina Silva Croome. Im part of the organization of the 8th Celebration and Intercession Night for America, where, during the whole night of October 31st the body of Christ all around our continent will come together in Spirit to pray for restoration and revival.
The events vision is to raise worship and intercession altars in every country of the American continent, joined in Spirit, to call upon His name. We believe the promise of the Lord in 2 Chro 7:14 that says that if His people will humble themselves and pray and seek His face and turn from their wicked ways, He will hear us from heaven and will forgive our sin and will heal our land.
It does not matter whether we are thousands gathered in a stadium or just a bunch kneeled in a room in each country because God is calling those who are willing to humble themselves before Him....and He is looking for His people in every country of our continent!
If you feel the Lords call to be part of this event, get in touch with me as soon as possible and I will give you more information.
May God take you deeper in His love
