\u2026 Yup. Another novena. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow begins the novena for religious freedom. <\/p>\n

\"religious_freedom_novena\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With threats to religious liberty around the world, we have decided to dedicate this novena for religious freedom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe saints have always been the source and origin of renewal in the most difficult moments in the Church\u2019s history.\u201d \u2013 St. John Paul II<\/p>\n

This novena was written to be a prayer to all Saints and particularly to Martyrs.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tomorrow is August 1st, the feast of St. Peter in Chains<\/a> on the old calendar. It\u2019s also First Friday<\/a>. I can\u2019t think of a more perfect time to come together as a family of Catholics and pray for those Christians being persecuted and martyred in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East. <\/p>\n

\"Peter<\/a><\/p>\n

Please join me in this novena and make tomorrow a special day of sacrifice for those suffering under ISIS persecution. Attend mass, fast, and\/or spend some time in adoration. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
