Dear Friend,
When reviewing many recent campaign media messages, speeches
and rallies, I have seen some very troubling remarks. These include
supporting a national law codifying a right to an abortion,
transgender mutilation surgeries and the right to use restrooms that
align with students’ gender identities. Where to begin can seem
daunting.
As a Catholic organization, we are careful to not take
partisan political positions nor offer guidance as to who to vote for
specifically; but, we are compelled to speak about the principles of
the Gospel and the Tradition as well as ideas that touch on those
principles.
Providing a simple, initial framework to help guide our
decisions in this or any election, our Shepherd, Cardinal Burke has
said: “Catholics must place life, family & religious freedom first
when voting.”
Most importantly, as we prepare to vote in good
conscience, it is worth being reminded that
prayer is the greatest of all forces.
Please join me in three days of prayers and submit
your intentions for our Presidential Election Countdown - three Holy
Masses, from October 18-20. Storming Heaven together, we will
invoke:
The Sacred Heart of Jesus on Friday, October
18
The Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday, October
19
The Holy Face of Jesus on Sunday, October
20
Include intentions for our nation, candidates you have been
praying for, as well as your own personal petitions.
From October 18-20, we will be praying for our nation, as
well as all who exercise their right to vote for the common good, as
we countdown to November 5. Please submit
your petitions now for the three Holy Masses.
May Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom guide
us.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Thomas McKenna
Founder and President

P.S. For further voter guidance to ensure

Day, access the Voting Guide and App just released from the
