Please pray for the conversion of Obama, that he may turn to the way of life.
Eucharisted:
Amen to that. I’ve been standing in front of an Icon of Our Lady and Her Child and doing just that every week since Barack Obama’s election.
For those who pray the Rosary regularly, I suggest praying the Patriotic Rosary from Priests for Life:

Pope John Paul II’s Closing Prayer in EVANGELIUM VITAE
O Mary,
bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life.
Look down, O Mother,
upon the vast numbers
of babies not allowed to be born,
of the poor whose lives are made difficult,
of men and women
who are victims of brutal violence,
of the elderly and the sick killed
by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love
to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace
to accept that Gospel
as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives
and the courage to bear witness to it
resolutely, in order to build,
together with all people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of God,
the Creator and lover of life.
God Our Father, Giver of life,
we entrust the United States of America
to Your loving care.
You are the rock
on which this nation was founded.
You alone are the true source
of our cherished rights
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Reclaim this land for Your glory
and dwell among Your people.
Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts
of our nation’s leaders,
**Esp. President-Elect Barack Obama and
**
the Democratic members of Congress.
Open their minds
to the great worth of human life
and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness
is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.
Through the intercession of
Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our land,
grant us the courage to reject
the “culture of death.”
Lead us into a new millennium of life.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen!

Let us all fervently pray for the conversion of Barack Obama and the Democrats in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Please understand that one of the things he has promised is to lobby for and sign the “Freedom of Choice Act” which would wipe out almost all of the Pro-Life legislation we’ve managed to get passed into law over the last 15 years, destroying all of the reductions we’re achieved in the number of Abortions at the same time, with the stroke of a pen.
I can’t see how this would be beneficial for women, for the relationships between women and men and women and their children, or for our Republic.
Your Brother and Servant in Christ, Michael
