Being abroad during an election year can be both exciting and frustrating at times. It is exciting because it is easier to withdraw from all the noise and bickering of the parties but at the same time renter the political scene through news and other media outlets. It is also frustrating in the fact that one feels less powerful or less able to influence the election process and results.
Fr. Corapi has given us all, both at home and abroad, a way to influence and impact this election through the Rosary Novena.

A Call for a Rosary NovenaBy Fr. John Corapiwww.fathercorapi.com
Among the most important titles we have in the Catholic Church for the Blessed Virgin Mary are OurLady of Victory and Our Lady of the Rosary. These titles can be traced back to one of the most decisivetimes in the history of the world and Christendom. The Battle of Lepanto took place on October 7 (dateof feast of Our Lady of Rosary), 1571. This proved to be the most crucial battle for the Christian forcesagainst the radical Muslim navy of Turkey. Pope Pius V led a procession around St. Peter's Square inVatican City praying the Rosary. He showed true pastoral leadership in recognizing the danger posed toChristendom by the radical Muslim forces, and in using the means necessary to defeat it. Spiritualbattles require spiritual weapons, and this more than anything was a battle that had its origins in thespiritual order―a true battle between good and evil.Today we have a similar spiritual battle in progress―a battle between the forces of good and evil, lightand darkness, truth and lies, life and death. If we do not soon stop the genocide of abortion in theUnited States, we shall run the course of all those that prove by their actions that they are enemies ofGod―total collapse, economic, social, and national. The moral demise of a nation results in the ultimatedemise of a nation. God is not a disinterested spectator to the affairs of man. Life begins at conception.This is an unalterable formal teaching of the Catholic Church. If you do not accept this you are a hereticin plain English. A single abortion is homicide. The more than 48,000,000 abortions since Roe v. Wade inthe United States constitute genocide by definition. The group singled out for death―unwanted, unbornchildren.No other issue, not all other issues taken together, can constitute a proportionate reason forvoting for candidates that intend to preserve and defend this holocaust of innocent humanlife that is abortion.I strongly urge every one of you to make a Novena and pray the Rosary to Our Lady of Victorybetween October 27th and Election Day, November 4th. Pray that God's will be done and themost innocent and utterly vulnerable of our brothers and sisters will be protected from thisbarbaric and grossly sinful blight on society that is abortion. No woman, and no man, has theright to choose to murder an innocent human being.May God grant us the wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and counsel to form our conscience inaccordance with authentic Catholic teaching, and then vote that well‐formed Catholic conscience.Please copy, email, link and distribute this article freely.
