BUT WHEN HE, WHO FROM MY MOTHER'S WOMB HAD SET ME APART AND CALLED ME THROUGH HIS GRACE, WAS PLEASED TO REVEAL HIS SON TO ME, SO THAT I MIGHT PROCLAIM HIM TO THE GENTILES, I DID NOT IMMEDIATELY CONSULT FLESH AND BLOOD, NOR DID I GO UP TO JERUSALEM TO THOSE WHO WERE APOSTLES BEFORE ME; RATHER, I WENT INTO ARABIA AND THEN RETURNED TO DAMASCUS. THEN AFTER THREE YEARS I WENT UP TO JERUSALEM TO CONFER WITH CEPHAS AND REMAINED WITH HIM FOR FIFTEEN DAYS. BUT I DID NOT SEE ANY OTHER OF THE APOSTLES, ONLY JAMES THE BROTHER OF THE LORD. AS TO WHAT I AM WRITING TO YOU, BEHOLD, BEFORE GOD, I AM NOT LYING. THEN I WENT INTO THE REGIONS OF SYRIA AND CILICIA. AND I WAS UNKNOWN PERSONALLY TO THE CHURCHES OF JUDEA THAT ARE IN CHRIST; THEY ONLY KEPT HEARING THAT THE ONE WHO ONCE WAS PERSECUTING US IS NOW PREACHING THE FAITH HE ONCE TRIED TO DESTROY. SO THEY GLORIFIED GOD BECAUSE OF ME. THE WORD OF THE LORD. R. THANKS BE TO GOD. (RESPONSORIAL PSALM 139:1-3, 13-15) (READER) GUIDE ME, LORD, ALONG THE EVERLASTING WAY. R.

(LATIN WORDS) ♪ VERBUM DOMINI ♪ R. LAUS TIBI, CHRISTE 1 OF THE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE GROWING UP WAS KNOWING 3 OF MY 4 GRANDPARENTS AND 2 OF MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS. MY MATERNAL GREAT GRANDPARENTS. WE WOULD PLAY CARDS AT THEIR HOUSE. WE WOULD VISIT MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WHO LIVED LONGER THAN MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER AND SHE LIVED ON HER OWN UNTIL SHE WAS IN HER 90S ALTHOUGH OF COURSE HER FAMILY WOULD CHECK ON HER EVEN DAILY. 1 OF THE THINGS THAT SHE DID TOWARD THE END OF HER LIFE WAS THAT SHE MADE AFGHANS FOR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN. AND SO WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING HER THE YARN, THE COLORS WE WANTED HER TO USE AND SHE WOULD GET TO WORK AND SHE WOULD BE CONTINUALLY KNITTING AWAY WITH THE GERMAN PRECISION. ALWAYS PRECISELY BEAUTIFULLY MADE. I STILL HAVE THE ONE SHE MADE FOR ME. IT WAS A WONDERFUL THING. IT IS A WONDERFUL THING. I CONTEMPLATED THE READINGS TODAY AND I THOUGHT OF MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER MARGARET. AND HOW SHE NEEDED THOSE AFGHANS SO CAREFULLY AND PRECISELY AND MADE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. WITH THAT METICULOUS WORK. IT IS INTERESTING IS IT NOT THAT THIS IS THE WORD HAT IS USED IN TODAY'S PSALM THAT WE HEARD TODAY? PSALM 139. IF YOU EVER DOUBT YOUR OWN WORTH OR VALUE READ PSALM 139. SO HERE'S WHAT WE HEARD. LORD YOU HAVE PROBED ME AND KNOW ME. YOU KNOW WHEN I SIT AND WHEN I STAND. TRULY YOU HAVE FORMED MY INMOST BEING. YOU KNIT ME IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB. I GIVE YOU THANKS THAT I AM FEARFULLY, WONDERFULLY MADE. I AM GLAD THAT WENT BACK TO THAT BEAUTIFUL TRANSLATION WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. IT IS A WONDERFUL THING TO EXIST. IT IS A WONDERFUL THING TO LIVE. TO BE CREATED. IN OUR MOTHER'S WOMBS. ST. PAUL RECOGNIZE THAT ALSO IN TODAY'S 1ST READING FROM THE LETTER TO THE GALATIANS. YESTERDAY WE STARTED READING THROUGH ST. PAUL'S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS AND WE WILL READ THROUGH IT THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK AND HALF OF NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE READING THROUGH HIS LETTER TO THE GALATIANS. THE PEOPLE AND TERRITORIES OF MODERN-DAY TURKEY. IN THIS HE IS TELLING HIS OWN STORY. HE IS TELLING US ABOUT HIS OWN CONVERSION STORY. IF HE LIVED TODAY HE WOULD BE ON THE JOURNEY HOME. WITH MARCUS. HE IS TELLING A STORY AND DEFENDING WHAT HE TAUGHT BECAUSE THERE WERE THOSE WHO WERE CALLING INTO QUESTION PAUL'S TEACHING AND WE HEARD YESTERDAY THAT HE SAID I WAS NOT TAUGHT IN THIS. IT WAS NOT BROUGHT TO BE MY BY ANY HUMAN BEING PRETTY CAMBER REVELATION. REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. AND NOW HE IS TALKING ABOUT IN FACT I PERSECUTED THE CHURCH. I PERSECUTED THE CHURCH OF GOD BEYOND MEASURE. WE HEARD THAT TODAY. I TRIED TO DESTROY IT. SO THIS IS HIS OWN STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. HE WANTS TO WIPE OUT THIS NEW BELIEF IN CHRIST. BUT WHEN HE WHO FROM MY MOTHER'S WOMB HAD SET ME APART ALREADY GOD KNEW PAUL. IN HIS MOTHER'S WOMB. HE, WHO FROM MY MOTHER'S WOMB HAD SET ME APART AND CALLED ME THROUGH HIS GRACE, SO IT WAS NOT ANYTHING THAT PAUL MERITED AND IN FACT HE SAID I WAS THE WORST OF SINNERS. I TRIED TO DESTROY THE CHURCH OF GOD. NO IT WAS THROUGH GOD'S GRACIOUS GOODNESS. JUST LIKE OUR EXISTENCE IS. OUR EXISTENCE IS BECAUSE OF HIS GOODNESS. HE THOUGHT OF YOU, HE THOUGHT OF ME, HE THOUGHT OF ALL OF US AND HE SO DELIGHTED IN THE THOUGHT OF US THAT HE CREATED US AND BROUGHT US INTO BEING. HE THOUGHT OF US IN OUR MOTHER'S WOMBS. WHEN WE WERE CONCEIVED HE INFUSED OUR SOULS INTO OUR BODIES. AND HE CREATED US NOT JUST FOR A FEW SHORT YEARS ON THIS EARTH BUT WITH AN ETERNAL AND IMMORTAL SOUL MADE IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS TO SHARE IN HIS LIFE AND LOVE FOREVER. INDEED WE ARE FEARFULLY, WONDERFULLY MADE. EACH AND EVERY 1 OF US. AND SO ST. PAUL SAYS WHEN, HE WHO FROM MY MOTHER'S WOMB HAD SET ME APART, AND CALL ME THROUGH HIS GRACE, IT IS ALL GRACE. IT IS ALL HIS GRACIOUSNESS. HIS GOODNESS. WAS PLEASED TO REVEAL HIS SON TO ME. SO THAT I MIGHT PROCLAIM HIM TO THE GENTILES. LITERALLY WHAT PAUL SAYS IS THAT HE WAS PLEASED TO REVEAL HIS SON IN ME. REVEAL HIS SON IN ME. SO THIS WAS NOT JUST A CHANGE OF MIND THAT POSSIBLY HAD. THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON DEEPLY INTERIORLY. HE REVEALED HIS SON IN ME. THERE WAS THIS INTERIOR ATTRACTION IN THE DEPTHS OF HIS SOUL TOWARDS CHRIST. OF LATER IN GALATIANS CHAPTER 2:20 WE HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL LINE IN GALATIANS. WHERE PAUL IS SPEAKING OF JESUS SAID HE LOVED ME AND HE GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME. SO NOW PAUL HE COULD HOLD NOTHING BACK. HE REVEALS I THINK IN CORINTHIANS 1 OF THE CORINTHIAN LETTERS HOW MUCH HE SUFFERED AND ENDURED BUT THAT HE REJOICED IN HIS SUFFERINGS. IT WAS A WAY THAT HE COULD PROVE HIS LOVE TO THE ONE WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME. THAT IS TRUE OF EACH AND EVERY 1 OF YOU. EACH AND EVERY 1 OF US. HE LOVED YOU AND HE GAVE HIMSELF FOR YOU. SO 1ST OF ALL WERE BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE, YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE, KNIT TOGETHER IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMBS AND THEN A NEW CREATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THROUGH HIS SALVATION CAME ABOUT AND HE IS BEING REVEALED IN YOU. AND PAUL WOULD SAY, NOW CHRIST LIVES IN ME. I NO LONGER LIVE MY HUMAN LIFE. IT IS A LIFE OF FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD. WHO LOVED ME. AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME. PAUL ALSO WAS PROBABLY THINKING BEING THE SCRIPTURE SCHOLAR HE WAS OF JEREMIAH'S PROPHECY. SO THE VERY 1ST THING THAT JEREMIAH IS TOLD BY THE LORD. READ IN JEREMIAH CHAPTER 1. WHAT IS THE VERY 1ST THING THAT THE LORD SAYS TO HIM? HERE IT IS. JEREMIAH CHAPTER 1:5. NOW THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME. SAYING, THE MORE I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU. AND BEFORE YOU WERE BORN I CONSECRATED YOU. I APPOINTED YOU A PROPHET TO THE NATIONS. SO JEREMIAH ALSO THE VERY 1ST WORD THAT IS GIVEN TO HIM BY THE LORD IS THAT THE LORD KNEW HIM EVEN BEFORE HE WAS CREATED IN HIS MOTHER'S WOMB HE WAS KNOWN AND LOVED BY GOD AND BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE IN HIS MOTHER'S WOMB AND BEFORE HE WAS BORN HE WAS CONSECRATED TO BE THIS PROPHET. PAUL IS GOING TO BE ONE WHO IS NOT JUST GOING TO BE A PROPHET OF GOD BUT HE IS GOING TO PROCLAIM THE FULFILLMENT OF THOSE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAH AND THE OTHER PROPHETS. THAT HE REVEALED HIS SON IN ME SO THAT I MIGHT PROCLAIM HIM TO THE GENTILES. TO THE NATIONS. THERE IS ANOTHER OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET THAT HAS TO DO PROPHECY ABOUT JESUS THE SUFFERING SERVANT IN ISAIAH 49. THE SERVANT SONG THAT WE HEAR DURING HOLY WEEK. HERE IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS HERE'S WHAT THE SERVANT SAID OF YAHWEH. BEFORE BIRTH THE LORD CALLED ME. FROM MY MOTHER'S WOMB HE GAVE ME MY NAME. SO DO YOU THINK GOD LOVES LIFE? HE LOVES THE CHILDREN IN THE WOMB. HE LOVES YOU. THAT YOU AND EVERY HUMAN PERSON IS FEARFULLY, WONDERFULLY MADE AND KNIT TOGETHER IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB. BEFORE YOU ARE BORN HE KNEW YOU. HE THOUGHT OF YOU. HE LOVED YOU. WE HAVE 3 OLD TESTAMENT PASSAGES THAT I READ AND ONE NEW TESTAMENT PASSAGE, JEREMIAH CHAPTER 1 AND ISAIAH 49 AND PSALM 139. IN PAUL'S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS. INDEED THAT IS TRUE. IT IS SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH. A FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH. IT IS REALLY WHAT MAKES OUR FAITH UNDERSTANDABLE. WHY IT BRINGS SUCH BEAUTIFUL RICHES BECAUSE IT IS THE RECOGNITION OF THE HUMAN DIGNITY OF EACH AND EVERY PERSON. THAT NO PERSON CAN BE TREATED LIKE AN OBJECT OR SOMETHING TO BE THROWN AWAY. BUT RATHER EVERY PERSON FROM THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION IN THEIR MOTHER'S WOMB AS THEY ARE BEING KNIT IN THE MOTHER'S WOMB HAS AN INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE. THIS DIGNITY. GIVEN BY THE GOD WHO LOVES THEM WHO THOUGHT OF THEM WHO KNEW THEM AND WHO IS KNITTING THEM TOGETHER IN THEIR MOTHER'S WOMB AND AND AFTER BIRTH LIKEWISE. THE DIGNITY UNTIL OUR NATURAL DEATH. THAT EACH AND EVERY PERSON HAS. THINK OF YOUR OWN DIGNITY THAT YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN UNBORN LIFE. THE 9 MONTHS OR LESS IF YOU WERE PREMATURE BUT FOR MOST OF US THE 9 MONTHS YOU SPENT IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB. THINK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW. HOW GOD WAS FORMING YOU. HOW YOU WERE GROWING. HOW YOU WERE BROUGHT EVENTUALLY TO BIRTH IN THIS LIFE. SO THAT YOU MIGHT EVENTUALLY BE BORN TO ETERNAL LIFE. THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL BULLETIN INSERT THAT THE US BISHOPS HAVE PUT TOGETHER AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT IT ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE US CCP WEBSITE AND IT IS CALLED PRIORITIES AT THE POLE. OBVIOUSLY WE ARE PREPARING FOR OUR GENERAL ELECTIONS. AND HERE IS 1 OF THE ARTICLES. IT IS WRITTEN ARCHBISHOP NAUMANN (CHAIR, USCCB COMMITTEE ON PRO LIFE) BY SO THE VERY 1ST 3 SENTENCES I WOULD JUST READ THE HIGHLIGHTED 1ST 3 SENTENCES HERE ON THIS BULLETIN INSERT. OR HAND OUT ON PRIORITIES AT THE POLLS. AS WE ARE PREPARING FOR OUR ELECTIONS. HERE'S WHAT THE ARCHBISHOP WROTE. AS CATHOLICS APPROACHED THE POLLS, WE ARE ASKED TO WAIVE MANY IMPORTANT ISSUES. THE US BISHOPS HAVE REAFFIRMED AND HERE HE IS QUOTING FROM THEIR DOCUMENT, FORMING CONSCIENCES FOR FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP, THE BISHOPS HAVE REAFFIRMED THAT, THE THREAT OF ABORTION REMAINS OUR PREEMINENT PRIORITY BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY ATTACKS LIFE ITSELF, BECAUSE IT TAKES PLACE WITHIN THE SANCTUARY OF THE FAMILY, AND BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF LIVES DESTROYED. END OF THE QUOTATION. THE THREAT OF ABORTION REMAINS A PREEMINENT PRIORITY BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY ATTACKS LIFE ITSELF, IT TAKES PLACE WITHIN THE SANCTUARY OF THE FAMILY AND BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF LIVES DESTROYED. THEN THIS CONTINUES ARCHBISHOP CONTINUES WHILE THEY DID WARN US NOT TO AND QUOTATION, DISMISS OR IGNORE OTHER SERIOUS THREATS TO HUMAN LIFE AND DIGNITY SUCH AS RACISM, THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS, POVERTY AND THE DEATH PENALTY, AND OF THE QUOTATION, THEY DID GIVE PRIORITY TO UPHOLDING AND DEFENDING OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS MOST BASIC RIGHT, TO LIVE. TO LIVE. SO MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, LET US FORM OUR CONSCIENCES IN THE TRUTH. WHAT GOD HAS BEAUTIFULLY REVEALED ABOUT THE DIGNITY OF EVERY HUMAN PERSON. AND EWTN HAS A MINI WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT PREPARING FOR THE ELECTION. A DEPUTY IN.COM/VOTE AND IT TALKS ABOUT OUR PRIORITY TO CHOOSE GOOD AND AVOID EVIL. THAT IS THE BASIC MORAL PREMISE. ALWAYS TO CHOOSE WHAT IS GOOD TO AVOID EVIL. WARMING OUR CONSCIENCES IN THE TRUTH. SO TRUTH IS REALITY AND FORMING OUR CONSCIENCES IN THE REALITY THE NATURAL HUMAN LAW, AND WHAT IS THE REALITY OF THINGS AND TRUTH. SO ON. THINGS THAT HELP US TO TAKE FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP.

AMEN. CATHOLICS INSTINCTIVELY TURN TO MARY FOR HELP IN TIMES OF NEED. AS WE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREPARE FOR OUR GENERAL ELECTIONS, LET US PRAY TOGETHER A NOVENA TO THE MOTHER OF GOD FOR THE NATION, HUMBLY ASKING FOR DIVINE ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOST BLESSED TRINITY THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF MARY, THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, PATRONESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE PRAY FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTORAL PROCESS, AND THAT WE MAY CHOOSE AND BE BLESSED WITH LEADERS WHO WILL GOVERN US IN ACCORD WITH GOD'S WILL, FOR OUR SPIRITUAL AND SOCIETAL FLOURISHING. TODAY, DAY 8 OF THE NOVENA, WE CONSIDER MARY AND THE MYSTERY OF EASTER. FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF SAINT PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS: FOR I DELIVERED TO YOU AS OF FIRST IMPORTANCE WHAT I ALSO RECEIVED, THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES, THAT HE WAS BURIED, THAT HE WAS RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES, AND THAT HE APPEARED TO CEPHAS, THEN TO THE TWELVE. THEN HE APPEARED TO MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED BRETHREN AT ONE TIME, MOST OF WHOM ARE STILL ALIVE, THOUGH SOME HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP. THEN HE APPEARED TO JAMES, THEN TO ALL THE APOSTLES. LAST OF ALL, AS TO ONE UNTIMELY BORN, HE APPEARED ALSO TO ME. ( ALL) WE FLY TO YOUR PATRONAGE, O HOLY MOTHER OF GOD; DESPISE NOT OUR PRAYERS IN OUR NECESSITIES, BUT EVER DELIVER US FROM ALL DANGERS, O GLORIOUS AND BLESSED VIRGIN. (REFLECTION) (LECTOR) SATURDAY IS MARY'S DAY. THE ORIGIN OF THIS CUSTOM SEEMS TO BE THE SENSE AMONG CHRISTIANS THAT MARY ALONE BELIEVED FIRMLY IN CHRIST'S RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD ONCE HIS BODY WAS LAID IN THE TOMB ON HOLY SATURDAY. ALL OF THE OTHER DISCIPLES WERE, AT BEST, DISTRAUGHT AND CONFUSED BY JESUS' PROMISE THAT HE WOULD RISE FROM THE DEAD. MARY ALONE DID NOT FALTER IN HER FAITH. IT IS PRECISELY THIS FAITH THAT THE CHURCH HONORS EACH SATURDAY OF THE YEAR. POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II EXPLAINED IN A GENERAL AUDIENCE ADDRESS THAT MARY WAS VERY LIKELY THE FIRST DISCIPLE TO SEE AND EMBRACE THE RISEN LORD: INDEED, IT IS LEGITIMATE TO THINK THAT THE MOTHER WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST PERSON TO WHOM THE RISEN JESUS APPEARED. COULD NOT MARY'S ABSENCE FROM THE GROUP OF WOMEN WHO WENT TO THE TOMB AT DAWN (CF. MK 16:1; MT 28:1) INDICATE THAT SHE HAD ALREADY MET JESUS? THIS INFERENCE WOULD ALSO BE CONFIRMED BY THE FACT THAT THE FIRST WITNESSES OF THE RESURRECTION, BY JESUS' WILL, WERE THE WOMEN WHO HAD REMAINED FAITHFUL AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS AND THEREFORE WERE MORE STEADFAST IN FAITH. INDEED, THE RISEN ONE ENTRUSTS TO ONE OF THEM, MARY MAGDALENE, THE MESSAGE TO BE PASSED ON TO THE APOSTLES (CF. JN. 20:17-18). PERHAPS THIS FACT TOO ALLOWS US TO THINK THAT JESUS SHOWED HIMSELF FIRST TO HIS MOTHER, WHO HAD BEEN THE MOST FAITHFUL AND HAD KEPT HER FAITH INTACT WHEN PUT TO THE TEST. LASTLY, THE UNIQUE AND SPECIAL CHARACTER OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN'S PRESENCE AT CALVARY AND HER PERFECT UNION WITH THE SON IN HIS SUFFERING ON THE CROSS SEEM TO POSTULATE A VERY PARTICULAR SHARING ON HER PART IN THE MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION. (21 MAY 1997) THE SCRIPTURES TELL US THAT AFTER CHRIST ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, MARY REMAINED WITH THE APOSTLES AS THEY AWAITED THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (ACTS 1:14). SHE WAS WITH THE TWELVE ON PENTECOST AND, WITH THEM, RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE TWELVE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT FOR THEIR WORK OF PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND BAPTIZING PEOPLE OF EVERY NATION. MARY RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR HER MISSION AS MOTHER OF CHRIST'S DISCIPLES. UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH, WILL HELP HER CHILDREN LIVE BY FAITH, SPREAD THE FAITH, AND WORK TIRELESSLY FOR THE CONVERSION OF ALL MEN AND WOMEN TO CHRIST. ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT IN HIS MASTERPIECE, TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY, EXPLAINS THAT MARY, ASSUMED INTO HEAVEN, SHARES HER FAITH WITH HER CHILDREN ON EARTH: MARY WILL SHARE HER FAITH WITH YOU. HER FAITH ON EARTH WAS STRONGER THAN THAT OF ALL THE PATRIARCHS, PROPHETS, APOSTLES AND SAINTS. NOW THAT SHE IS REIGNING IN HEAVEN, SHE NO LONGER HAS THIS FAITH, SINCE SHE SEES EVERYTHING CLEARLY IN GOD BY THE LIGHT OF GLORY. HOWEVER, WITH THE CONSENT OF ALMIGHTY GOD SHE DID NOT LOSE IT WHEN ENTERING HEAVEN. SHE HAS PRESERVED IT FOR HER FAITHFUL SERVANTS IN THE CHURCH MILITANT. THEREFORE, THE MORE YOU GAIN THE FRIENDSHIP OF THIS FAITHFUL VIRGIN THE MORE YOU WILL BE INSPIRED BY FAITH IN YOUR DAILY LIFE (214). CATHOLICS TODAY NEED TO BE STRENGTHENED BY MARY TO STAND FIRM IN THE FIGHT FOR THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN LIFE FROM CONCEPTION TO NATURAL DEATH AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM GUARANTEED TO AMERICAN CITIZENS BY THE CONSTITUTION. MAY SHE WHO HAS BEEN CHOSEN BY GOD TO CRUSH THE HEAD OF THE ANCIENT SERPENT (GEN. 3:15), ACCOMPLISH THE RENEWAL OF FAITH AND APOSTOLIC ZEAL IN OUR LAND THROUGH THE LABOR OF CATHOLICS DEDICATED TO THE GOSPEL. (PRAYER) ( CELEBRANT) CONFER, O LORD, ON US, WHO SERVE BENEATH THE STANDARD OF MARY, THAT FULLNESS OF FAITH IN YOU, AND TRUST IN HER, TO WHICH IT IS GIVEN TO CONQUER THE WORLD. GRANT US A LIVELY FAITH, ANIMATED BY CHARITY, WHICH WILL ENABLE US TO PERFORM ALL OUR ACTIONS FROM THE MOTIVE OF PURE LOVE OF YOU, AND EVER TO SEE YOU AND SERVE YOU IN OUR NEIGHBOR; A FAITH, FIRM AND IMMOVABLE AS A ROCK, THROUGH WHICH WE SHALL REST TRANQUIL AND STEADFAST AMID THE CROSSES, TOILS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS OF LIFE; A COURAGEOUS FAITH WHICH WILL INSPIRE US TO UNDERTAKE AND CARRY OUT WITHOUT HESITATION GREAT THINGS FOR YOUR GLORY AND FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS; A FAITH WHICH WILL BE OUR PILLAR OF FIRE - TO LEAD US FORTH UNITED - TO KINDLE EVERYWHERE THE FIRES OF DIVINE LOVE - TO ENLIGHTEN THOSE WHO ARE IN DARKNESS AND IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH - TO INFLAME THOSE WHO ARE LUKEWARM - TO BRING BACK LIFE TO THOSE WHO ARE DEAD IN SIN; AND WHICH WILL GUIDE OUR OWN FEET IN THE WAY OF PEACE; SO THAT WHEN THE BATTLE OF LIFE IS OVER, ALL OF MARY'S CHILDREN WITHOUT THE LOSS OF ANY ONE, MAY BE GATHERED TOGETHER IN THE KINGDOM OF YOUR LOVE AND GLORY.
