Someone has said if Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.

> Did you know that during WWII there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people that dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace?
>
>There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 pm Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (7:00 PM Mountain) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation. If you know
anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

Excellent! I'll pass this along.

Me too!

Lord Jesus Christ, our True God, by the power and authority of Your Holy and All-Venerable Name, the Name above all names, the Name before which every knee in Heaven and on earth and under the earth must bend and every voice declare to the Glory of God the Father that You indeed and You alone are Lord, by the intercession of Your Holy Mother, the all-Holy, Ever-Virgin Mother of God, Mary, who is by Your Gracious Gift from the Cross our Mother, by the intercession of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and of all the other Holy Apostles, Saints, Martyrs, Patriarchs, and other blessed spirits whom You have gathered into Your Kingdom from every race, nation, people, culture, and time, and by the intercession of the Holy Angels, of all their choirs and legions, especially of the Holy Archangel Michael, I ask You, Lord, Holy Master, to guard our country from all her enemies, both within her borders and outside them. Grant to those in our armed forces, who defend our country and the freedom to worship You without fear that we enjoy, Your Providential Hand to protect them and keep them from all harm and injury. Grant that our nation may have a conversion of its religious and civil life, returning to the shared values that built it into a nation under You, Our Father, Who brought us to greatness and have allowed us to fall into our present problems because we have abandoned You. Make us again a nation that pursues justice and right for all, especially for those who have no one powerful to protect them or be their advocate. Protect our citizens wherever in the world they may be at this time. Grant to each of us whatever You may know is necessary for health of soul, mind, and body in this our pilgrimage. Remind us always that the poor among us are the opportunity You give us to reflect Your Generosity to all of us. AMEN.

Holy Mother of God, spread your Protecting Veil over us at this trying time of our lives and come and be our defender against the onslaughts of the Wicker Enemy in every step of our pilgriamge. AMEN.

Amen and amen and amen!

Bob,

Truly, beautiful and righteous prayers. Thank you. And, I also say amen. Let your prayers be my prayers tonight.

Joe

FATHER STEPHANOS:

Father bless!!

Would it be appropriate to have this noted in parish bulletins?

Asking your blessing and your holy prayers,

BOB

Sounds like a good idea Bob.
I know a few friends and myself started it a few months back and at the end of the Liturgy I ask the people to seek the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Victory to pray for the conversion on the Muslims.

Thanks for the head's up, Bob. We'll be praying for this.

because:

2Chr.7:14

... if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

It's just past 9 p.m. EST. Is anyone still praying each night at this time for the intention mentioned?

BOB
