Start having Masses for current pres & pres & VP candidates

[Born2beCatholic]

This election is too important to not request to have Masses for the candidates. Start going online and do a search for parishes out of town. We don’t have to attend the daily Mass we offer in order for God’s grace to abound. Have Masses for American voters too.

Our current president needs Masses for him (and his family) also. Masses for our current president will help him make the right decisions to end the war in Iraq. I know a devout Catholic who attends daily Mass who rather vote for a pro-abort candidate due to the war. She has an 18 year old grandson overseas who she feels she has to protect. Masses are needed for our leaders (on both sides of the ticket) to do something about the war in order to get our pro-life voters back.

Don’t wait!

There is also an ongoing novena that started on Tuesdays prior to the election on the usccb.org website. faithfulcitizenship.org/resources/podcasts

The idea of having Masses said for the current President and for the best outcome to the election is an excellent one.

Pray also that we will be spared some dreadful chastisement for our sins of abortion.

Someone said that the price we paid for having slavery in the United States was our Civil War that killed 500,000 citizen-soldiers.

What will be the price for having aborted 40,000,000 babies so far in the United States … and easily that many world-wide every year?

May God have mercy on us and on our souls.

It is unimaginable the horror and chastisement we deserve for the shameful slaughter of those countless innocents, who truly are the “least of My brethren”. We need to pray that God spare us His wrath and plead for God’s mercy.

This would turn off most people in most parishes. They come to mass for spiritual renewal, not politics. During mass political affiliations should not matter, all are welcome. To hold masses for the present administration or either party running to replace them will alienate the parishioners on one side or another, reducing the unity and hospitality in the parishes.

We used to have, at the conclusion of Sunday Mass, the priest kneeling at the foot of the altar, leading the prayers for the conversion of Russia.

Political?

I don’t think it can be considered politics to ask for prayers for our leaders. I didn’t get the impression that political affiliations were mentioned. And if there are those who feel alienated if abortion and pro-choice or pro-life are mentioned, they have already alienated themselves from the Church. JMO.

I guess it depends on how it is worded. In my experience, the more general it is, the better it is. When using the terms “pro-life” and “pro-choice”, people have a Pavlovian response to the political definition of those terms which leads to division. They feel alienated based on political rethortic they hear outside of Church but are not alienated from the Church community itself.
