PRAYER TO PRESERVE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN AMERICA
(as Hobby Lobby faces the Supreme Court on 3/25/14)
Lord God, Our Father, you are the Righteous Judge over
all the earth. We pray that you will have mercy on the United States as
the Supreme Court hears a case that will shape the balance between
government power and freedom of religion.
Give words to the attorneys for Hobby Lobby as they argue that our free exercise of religion includes how Christians live and work, not just what we do when we gather for worship, so that whatever we do in word or deed, we may do it in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
God, enlighten the Justices of the Supreme Court to acknowledge that you alone are Lord of our consciences. Give the Court humility to recognize that you are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and that you have instituted human government so that your people may serve the Lord without fear, in holiness and righteousness before you, all the days of our life.
And Lord, give us grace and boldness to use the religious liberty that we still have to make your truth and mercy known. Amen.

6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil
Louise joined my last night...yeah!!! We offered up various pro-life intentions throughout our prayer time together. We said two opening prayers, "Prayer for the Helpless Unborn" & for all PW's in the world "Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel" then began walking to & from the traffic light as the chill was getting to us right away. I had driven through a blizzard-like snow fall for a few minutes with a cloudy sky, then when I arrived at the abortion mill, the sun started to shine~but really cold. We were joined by Mike who led the first decade of the Holy Rosary before going over to the pro-life service at St. Faustina Church. He was not dressed for this cold weather, so it was a great sacrifice that he offered up for the end of this evil in our land~killing unborn babies. After he finished leading the first decade, with a brief Sorrowful Mystery meditation, he left for church & Louise finished leading. The freezing breeze would not stop & our faces were starting to burn a smidge, so we sat in my car the 2nd half of our prayer hour. We sang the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with Louise reading Saint Faustina's meditation on The Passion & we closed reading together the Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists & their Staffs. Our pro-life signs were in my front window so folks could see them as they drove by. God bless you all. (Jenny)
