The CatholiCity Message

Volume IV, Number 24 – November 8, 2000

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

We are bleary eyed. We were up all night–until 6am–following the incredible election returns, and we're sure all of you realize that the Soul of the United States hangs in the balance.

If there ever was a moment when 23,000 CatholiCity families and thousands of our friends and relatives praying together ever could change the world, now is that moment.

Let us not just "say the words" when we pray together this time. Let us calmly and with humble faith unite our hearts with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and now begin with the sign of the Cross...

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Heavenly Father, You alone have the divine power to vouchsafe the election in America for the forces of goodness and life. Relying on the perfect promise of Your perfect Son, we implore you to mobilize the Holy Spirit to battle the forces of evil in our beloved land and to bring forth Your Perfect Will for this election which yet still hangs in the balance. Send the Intrepid Saint Michael and all the Archangels to fight for the United States! Send all the warrior angels from heaven to bind the forces of darkness and cast them to hell, never to return! We beg for the intercession of all the martyrs in heaven; for all holy souls who have shed blood for Divine Love, and we ask especially for the intercession of all the deceased relatives of CatholiCity Citizens and their guardian angels!

"Hold back nothing to vouchsafe what is good, O Lord! Suppress all that is evil, O Creator! We ask this in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and the Incarnate Word Who told us that the Kingdom of God is the littlest among us. Who are we, Lord, but your beloved children? We pray on behalf of Your littlest ones, the ones who do not have voices to pray. Here and answer our prayers. Amen."

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, pray for us.
Saint Katharine Drexel and Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us.
Saint Thomas More, Patron of Politicians, pray for us.
Immaculate Mary, Patroness of the United States, pray for us.
Jesus Christ, King of Kings, we adore you!

Amen.
