Enjoying the Progress?  Join the Prayer

Progressives in the United States have been suffering some defeats in recent weeks, as authors of the progressive agenda have started falling into their own traps and tangling in their own snares.
Coincidence?
Or answer to national and global prayer?

Join Those Catholics

Catholics have the national and global infrastructure needed to launch national and global prayer efforts.
Pope Benedict just led Global Adoration 2 weeks ago.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has called for a SECOND Fortnight for Freedom, starting Thursday evening, June 20th.

In Madison, Wisconsin

In Madison, the Fortnight for Freedom will begin with a Vigil for Freedom in downtown Madison, at 7 PM on Thursday, June 24th.
Location: State Street steps of the Wisconsin State Capitol building on Capitol Square, in Madison.
Bishop Robert C. Morlino will lead Madison in prayer.
The vigil will continue through July 4th, 2013.  Schedule of events found at Fortnight of Freedom.
All are welcome, it’s not just for Catholics. We need everybody’s prayers!

From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Psalm 84 (85)

Lord, you blessed your land; you forgave the guilt of your people.

O Lord, you once favoured your land
and revived the fortunes of Jacob,
you forgave the guilt of your people
and covered all their sins.
You averted all your rage,
you calmed the heat of your anger.

Revive us now, God, our helper!
Put an end to your grievance against us.
Will you be angry with us for ever,
will your anger never cease?

Will you not restore again our life
that your people may rejoice in you?
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy
and give us your saving help.

I will hear what the Lord God has to say,
a voice that speaks of peace,
peace for his people and his friends
and those who turn to him in their hearts.
His help is near for those who fear him
and his glory will dwell in our land.

Mercy and faithfulness have met;
justice and peace have embraced.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth
and justice look down from heaven.

The Lord will make us prosper
and our earth shall yield its fruit.
Justice shall march before him
and peace shall follow his steps.
