Dear Friends in Christ,
The United States of America faces the most serious decision in our
nation's history on November 6. We are asking all to join in 3 days of prayer,
fasting, and adoration November 3, 4 and 5 to implore God's mercy upon
our Country in this most important election.
The inspiration for these 3 days of fasting and prayer is found in the book
of Esther. Queen Esther, when informed of the possible annihilation of her
people, called for a three-day fast prior to her interceding with the king on
behalf of her people.
Mary had been likened to Esther as she continually intercedes with the King
of kings on our behalf. The nation has been entrusted to her under the title of
Immaculate Conception. Let us ask her to pray with us and for us that we, as
people, will choose life.
"Who knows but that is was for a time like this that you obtained the
royal dignity?" Esther 4:14
Please copy and spread this invitation to fasting, prayer, and adoration on
November 3, 4 and 5 as widely as possible.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
MAGNIFICAT CENTRAL SERVICE TEAM.

Remember, if you work or for some other reason cannot fast from standard meals, there are TONS of other things you can fast from -- television, Facebook, soft drinks, desserts, etc. -- also (and even better), gossiping, complaining, being unmerciful, behaving uncharitably toward others, etc. -- or do a combo! The point is for us to come together as a people to turn our hearts and minds to God in a special and serious way these three days. (-:
