In Prayer

Mass intentions for President Obama and more

So much to write.

So many people are talking about prayer and the inauguration. 

Happy Catholic gives voice to the loyal opposition.

The Anchoress has thoughts on the atrocious idea of praying for Obama to fail.  While I understand the idea that we want Obama’s agenda of anti-life government control nanny-state-ism to fail we must be very careful to frame our prayers in the affirmative.  Protect innocent life, protect our liberties and freedom. 

I have posted earlier about groups praying the rosary for Obama. 

Elizabeth and Michael are sharing this wonderful video

And Barbara sent this out:

Please join us at Mass this Tuesday, January 20th, Inauguration Day, as we pray for our new president that he will have a conversion of heart and work to protect the dignity of all human life. All across the country and throughout the world, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is being offered for this intention. To date we have confirmed 393 Masses being offered in the US and thirteen other countries.

The roster below indicates all the Masses that we have logged to date for this intention. We believe there are many, many more that we are not aware of since this idea was advertised on blogs, on radio and in diocesan papers without contact information being given.

Here is what you can do:

1. Please check the roster below to locate the Mass closest to you. If no date is given it is assumed that the Mass is being offered on Jan. 20, however, I recommend that you double check with your parish to be sure. If there is not a Mass listed in your area, you might check your local church bulletins. (Some will list it as a Special Intention.) Please attend one of these Masses if at all possible and join your prayer with the priest’s and with the Mystical Body of Christ’s.

2. If there is no Mass in your area, you might attend the Tuesday Mass at your local parish and offer your personal Mass for this intention. At the moment of Consecration when Our Lord is closest to us is a good time to pray for this very special intention for the sake of the most vulnerable among us.

3. If you are unable to attend Mass, please join us by offering a Spiritual Communion.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.  I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.  Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

4. Please share this message with all the faithful Catholics you know and let our prayers resound to the heavens, that God may hear our prayer and have mercy on our nation.

I assume we will receive a few more Mass commitments tomorrow and will send out a final update on Tuesday—God willing.

It has been a joy working with each of you. I have met some wonderful people through this effort. It has been truly heartening to see such passion from both laity and clergy alike, for the sake of the unborn, the elderly, the terminally ill, and the handicapped. I hope each of you is encouraged as well.

In Christ’s love and service,
Barb

Rosaries for the President

prayfortheprez

With a big enough lever I could move the world.  Now who am I to argue with Archimedes?   With enough prayer who know what walls will come down, what seas will part, or what hearts could change.

Right now, at this very moment a new president is taking the oath of office of president of the United States.  We have elected a man who apparently has never seen a pro-abortion bill he didn’t like and has promised to support the vile practice of murdering unborn children.  What can we do now? Nothing but pray.  But God can do everything.  

I know there are several groups that are actively praying.  I will list them here as I find them. 

Rosaries for Obama – a facebook group connected to Christian and American
First 100 Rosaries – if you are in or near Washington D.C. consider joining the first 100 rosaries.

If you know of a group, or if you are praying for our new president please leave a comment so I can add your name or group to the list.

Inauguration Day Mass Intentions — 50 States

The Power of the Mass is Christ Himself
The Power of the Mass is Christ Himself

 This just in from Barbara:

I just had to let everyone know, we did it! With God’s help, we have Masses secured for our new president in all 50 states, as well as nine other countries! Thanks to each you for helping in this grassroots effort for the benefit of our nation and the unborn. To date we have 285 Masses being offered on or near Inauguration Day for our new president that he will have a conversion of heart and work to protect the dignity of all human life.

Just a reminder that today (Thursday) is probably the last day you will be able to get a bulletin announcement in at your parish letting people know about the Mass for the President.

If you know of anyone who has secured a Mass and hasn’t let us know ASAP so I can get them on the roster.

Also, if you have been thinking about contacting a priest or a parish about having a Mass said, it isn’t too late. Just today, one of the our local gals called one of the parishes who had wanted to have a Mass but said they were booked. The parish secretary called the pastor and they were able to rearrange the intention schedule and get a Mass on the 20th. Someone else wrote to say that the 20th was the only date available next week, and they were able to secure it. And, if you can’t get the 20th, God does work outside of time, so it can be later on as well.

I will send out an email this weekend with our final tally. Will we surge beyond the 300 mark? We have been averaging between 15 and 25 Masses per day. Maybe we will hit 400! So much good comes from a single Mass offered for a specific intention, I can’t imagine the benefit of this multitude of Masses being offered for the most powerful person in the world. It will be exciting to watch how God works.

I pray that God will bless each of you for your dedication to the unborn and I hope that we will hear good news for their sakes in the coming weeks and months.

In Christ’s love and service,
Barb L-

Inauguration Day Mass Intentions Update

obama
no cause is lost until we surrender

This is from Barbara who is corridinating this great effort:

January 6, 2009

Greetings on the Feast of Blessed Andre Bessette. May his example of doing little things for the greater glory of God be our inspiration for our Mass Intention efforts this day.

We currently have 109 Masses being offered in 31 States and Washington, DC. We also have six more Masses secured in Italy, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, India, Portugal and Canada.

It has been exciting to see the Mass list grow and encouraging to read the enthusiastic responses from people throughout the country. Some people have evan been able to secure Masses in several parishes in their cities.

Next week, we will send out an e-mail inviting Catholics around the country to attend a Mass in their local area. So, it would be great to secure more Masses in all states so that more people would have the opportunity to attend a Mass locally.

Time is of the essence. It is getting more difficult to secure Mass Intentions for the specific date: 1/20/09. But there are still options. You can either ask for the closest date available or if you know your pastor to be zealously pro-life, you can talk to him directly and he may be willing to change the intention schedule, if at all possible.

Also, consider that the following places are not booked as early: convents, abbeys, monasteries, retirement homes for priests and nuns, hospitals, nursing homes, and college campuses. (The main campus churches are probably already booked, but the dorm Mass intentions are generally more available and flexible.). But even parishes are still making room for our intention in their schedules, so don’t hesitate to ask. Again, I have had good success sending out e-mails to specific priests that I know to be ardently pro-life. I also have had wonderful responses from convents this past week.

We are still missing the following states, so if you have contacts in these states, please let them know about this project:

Alaska (AK)
Colorado (CO)
Connecticut (CT)
Delaware (DE)
Idaho (ID)
Louisiana (LA)
Maine (ME)
Massachusetts (MA)
Mississippi (MS)
Missouri (MO)
Nevada (NV)
New Hampshire (NH)
New Jersey (NJ)  
New York (NY)
North Carolina (NC)
Oklahoma (OK)
Tennessee (TN)
Virginia (VA)
West Virginia (WV)

May God bless our efforts, may He hear and answer our prayers according to His Divine Will, and may we hear good news in the coming year for the sake of the unborn and most vulnerable among us.
