Novena for Gov. Palin and her family

3 Sept 2008 | me

[paterfamilias]

Please join me in saying a Novena to the Sacred Heart for Gov. Sarah Palin and her family, that they receive God's grace and strength in the trying times to come.

This Novena is the same one that Padre Pio prayed daily for the intentions of all those who came to him for help. It is entitled "Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart" because of its great power. I know, because I have experienced it.

I will start the Novena today, and complete it on September 11th.

For those unfamiliar with this Novena, here is a link:

Pray for Governor Palin, her family and Senator John McCain and his family that they are strong in fighting the attacks and lies from the left and the media and that they stick to the message and get elected in November 2008.

Why not do this for everyone that has a pregnant teenager?

[paterfamilias]

Good idea.

Bishops Ask Catholics To Pray Election Novena

WASHINGTON—The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) invites U.S. Catholics to pray before the November election a novena for life, justice, and peace called Novena for Faithful Citizenship. It is a podcast and available for download.

Joan Rosenhauer, Associate Director for the USCCB’s 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 USCCB’s 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.

Bump.

I added the Palins and McCains to my rosary this morning.

Happy to join in.

[Salvation]

It’s the one thing we can all do!

[Kolokotronis]

Please take me off your list.

[NCC-1701]

Count me in. She’s gonna need it.

[sneakers]

Thanks for the ping Salvation.

I’ll join in the novena!

[Bahbah]

Thanks. This is a wonderful idea. I am a tough old bird but I am practically in tears over the treatment this family is receiving from these jackels.

[Twink]

Thanks. I’ll be saying the Novena. Prayers for the Palin family.

[NeoCaveman]

I’m in. The Palin family needs our prayers

[Campion]

Pray for the boyfriend, Levi, especially. I have a feeling he is a target on many levels.

And for the unborn child.

[PatriotGirl827]

Absolutely. I am going to the adoration chapel for an hour today to pray for her and her family, and the speech tonight.

Thank you.

[Salvation]

I believe that I am praying for the person of Sarah Palin and the safekeeping/sanity of her family that is being attacked. Not for the political viewpoints.

Have you ever prayed for someone who had a pregnant daughter? Bet you have.

[cherry]

this imperfect freeper will say a prayer for Sarah Palin and her family, and this country.....Lord....we are in a time of great need of YOUR grace....

[Jaded]

This was posted in our Parish bulletin in July: Four Month Novena to Mary for the best man to be elected in November. Please add me to your list.

Mary, Refuge of Holy Love, intercede for our country with your Immaculately conceived heart during the upcoming elections. Since you are the Ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from the Blessed Trinity a president and other elected political leaders who will help the United States become a country of great purity and high morality.

O Sweet Blessed Mother, intercede for us that our next president will support life for each individual at every stage, uphold family life, and influence other countries throughout the world to love God above all else and neighbor as self, to serve Him and to live for Him alone. Time and again, you have given us your gracious assistance and thus we humbly and gratefully acknowledge you as our Patron.

Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee and all those who do not have recourse to thee!

May Our Eternal Father shine His Light upon our country and the whole world. Amen

[Rum Tum Tugger]

Thanks, will do.

[radiohead]

What a wonderful idea. Thank you.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

As always, Salvation, thank you for the ping to the Catholic Prayer thread. May I add a special intention as well...

Please, lets all pray for health and safety of Bristol's unborn baby. That girl has been put under unrelenting pressure (and as a mom of 5 myself) I worry the harm it could cause she or her baby.

Thx, PaMom

[notaliberal]

I will also pray the Novena. The Palins and McCains are going to need it dealing with the vicious left and their press corps.

[SuziQ]

Thanks for the link. I’ve been praying for her every day, since she was chosen, because I KNEW she’d be savaged by the MSM and the Democrats.

[Aggie Mama]

Add me to the list.

[tiki]

Prayer bump.

[mckenzie7]

My pleasure! I will follow the link.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and bless you!

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

Happy to join you. Month of the Holy Angels.

[defconw]

Count me in.

[motoman]

Thank God I saw your message this morning - I began this Novena today. I think I needed it as much as Governor Palin and her family. Instantly quelled my anger toward the beasts that are attacking this wonderful family.

[paterfamilias]

Thank you all for joining in the Novena - God Bless you all

[cubreporter]

Don’t forget St. Jude either.

[Miss Didi]

I’m praying to them all!

[cubreporter]

That’s the spirit. Never underestimate the power of prayer.

[pray4liberty]

Count me in. Prayer BTTT!

[Desdemona]

Done. BTTT

[Quix]

I believe all Believers need to be praying routinely for

Palin’s safety, guidance, wisdom, anointing.

I think God hoodwinked the evil liberals and globalists with Palin.

I believe that folks seeking her harm will be coming out of the woodwork in droves.

Prayer and God alone can protect her, imho.

Thanks for this thread.
