Dear Faithful Catholics,
By now most Catholics know that Obama’s election was a horrible
setback in our mission to end the legalized killing of the unborn
in America; more babies’ lives are at stake.
But we should also remember that Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother
want this slaughter to end far more than we do. In that light, our
continued duty is to be God’s hands, feet, and voice in this
life and death struggle; to be faithful in our prayers and actions.
Obama’s election is a setback, but it does not mean we surrender,
nor does it mean ultimate defeat. By God’s grace, the cause
of the children will inevitably prevail. The only question is when,
and through whom.
Until that victorious hour, we must continue to pray and struggle
and sacrifice.
Hence, we are launching a small – but we pray effective –
sortie against the culture of death: Our First 100 Rosaries.
The first 100 days of a new administration are critical. The President
tries to establish his agenda, and create momentum for his goals.
As it stands now, Obama's first 100 days stand to be to
be highlighted and littered by evil.
We have a duty to pray that God will intervene for Justice,
and for the lives of the innocent during the coming dark night of
America’s soul.
We are specifically invoking Our Lady of Guadalupe,
because of her role in ending human sacrifice, with these intentions:
1) That God would give President Obama the grace
of conversion concerning the inalienable right to life of unborn
babies; specifically, that he will see, embrace, and defend the
unborn child’s God given right to life, and will use the office
of President to restore the full protection of law to the unborn
from conception till birth;
2) That God would thwart the evil acts promised
by Obama during the election concerning the unborn. (I.e., signing
the Freedom of Choice Act, undoing certain past pro-life executive
orders);
3) That God would grant great courage to our Priests,
Bishops, and all Christian leaders to publicly resist Obama’s
stated agenda, and defend the right to life of the unborn;
4) That God would inspire (where needed) righteous
men and women to run for political office in 2010 against pro-abortion
politicians from both parties; bold candidates who will defend and
protect the right to life of children in legislation;
5) That God would call thousands of new, prayerful,
and peaceful (yet bold!) “warriors” into this life and
death struggle.
WE ARE ASKING YOU TO SACRIFICE.
This is a large undertaking, as you can imagine. But millions of
babies are at risk; millions of lives hang in the balance. Can we
not bare an extra burden, and offer reparation for this horrible
crime against babies – and against God Himself?
In the dark light of this holocaust, praying the Rosary for 100
days can hardly be considered a sacrifice.
Schedule – 7 Days a Week, for 100 Days, at the
White House
We will gather over the lunch break at 12:30 P.M. every day, seven
days a week, rain or shine, to pray the Rosary across the Street
from the White House in Lafayette Park.
If you cannot pray at the White House, please join us in your home,
work, your church, or during your Holy Hour. Hundreds of Catholics
around the country are already committed to pray with us. We would
hope for thousands.
EXCEPTIONS: On Inauguration Day, we will gather
at the Northeast Quadrant of Lafayette Park (the Corner of Vermont
and H) at 9:00 A.M. to pray, sing, and speak the Truth. We will
listen to the swearing in, then President Obama’s address,
and when it is over, we will pray the first Rosary of his Presidency.
On January 22, the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, we will begin at
11:00 A.M., and be finished by 11:30, so that we can participate
in the March for Life at noon.
Other than these exceptions, we will pray the Rosary for 100 days,
across the street from the White House in Lafayette Park.
Will You Join Us in DC, or in your community?
We are offering these 100 days of prayer and invocations to Our
Lady of Guadalupe as a tool in the Hand of God in this clash between
good and evil, between life and death. We do not know what power
lies in these 100 First Rosaries, but we are confident that Our
Lady will hear us, and defend Life in some way.
If you will join us, in DC, or in your area, please let us know.
We will keep you posted on developments over the 100 days.
This is a LONG stretch. It will take us through Lent, and past
Easter. We will finish on April 29, the Feast Day of St. Catherine
of Siena.
We are looking for commitments; please tell us
when you can join us. If you are interested in leading one or more
of these Rosaries in D.C., let us know. We need helpers in this
Holy Cause.
We hope you will join in these First 100 Rosaries no matter where
you are.
