Dear Friend of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Abraham Lincoln once said, “Can we, as a nation, continue together permanently — forever half slave and half free?” 140 years later, Pope John Paul II said that Lincoln’s question is still a question for us today. Can we continue together permanently — forever half pro-abortion and half pro-life ? Please join us in praying a Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe to become 100% pro-life!
“Can we, as a nation, continue together permanently — forever half slave and half free? The problem is too mighty for me. May God, in His mercy, superintend the solution.” Abraham Lincoln, summer 1855.
“President Lincoln’s question is no less a question for the present generation of Americans. Democracy cannot be sustained without a shared commitment to certain moral truths about the human person and human community.” Pope John Paul II, October 1995. “The condition for the survival of America is to respect every human person, especially the weakest and most defenseless ones, those as yet unborn.” Pope John Paul II, September 19, 1987.
Pope John Paul II named Our Lady of Guadalupe as the Queen and Mother of America. He entrusted to her the “future path of the Church on the great continent of America.” In January of 1999 at her Basilica in Mexico City he said, “The Church must proclaim the Gospel of Life and speak out with prophetic force against the culture of death. This is our cry: life with dignity for all … The time has come to banish once and for all from the Continent every attack against life.”
Please join us from December 4 through 12 — the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe — in praying the National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe for the intention of a culture of life and civilization of love and not a culture of death and civilization of hate. Please forward this to your email lists and friends. Click here to read or print the Novena prayers.
May Our Lady of Guadalupe keep you under the mantle of her love and protection and may the reign of Jesus King of All Nations be recognized in your heart.
