Our Intentions – Please join us in offering this novena up:
- For the protection, encouragement, and lifting up of the voices and leadership of all faithful priests, deacons religious, bishops, cardinals, and laity in the Church who fully embrace and seek to live out the teachings of Jesus and His Church.
- In reparation for sins committed by the laity, priests, deacons, and religious against the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
- In reparation for rampant and grave liturgical abuses and related sins of persecution and disobedience to canon law, and Church teaching and tradition in reaction to the Covid-19 outbreak.
- For the call to repentance to all involved in violence against Jesus through the rejection or false teaching in all matters related to the authentic magisterium of the Church.
- In reparation for sins committed against the people of God by those in power in the Church – particularly the gravest sins of sexual abuse and any abuse of power.
- For the violence in the United States to end and that those who seek to advance an agenda contrary to Church teaching (socialism, marxism, occultism) would be seen in the fullness of their demonic agendas and rejected by the majority of Americans in the upcoming elections.
