Mother Teresa used to tell people that, anytime she had a problem, she would trustingly make a novena of NINE MEMORARE prayers, and the Blessed Mother would help without fail.
Let's all set our kitchen timers to pray the MEMORARE every hour for nine hours for the best possible outcome of our elections. God bless!
"Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protections, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen."

Pray and keep hope . . .
As often happens on election days, rumors fly and people find themselves getting dismayed when it seems their choice is not doing well in the polls. Some good advice, no matter which way you are voting, is to ignore the observations and just vote. It is a voter outcome election and if you vote, you have honored your privilege in this country and done your duty. A ploy is often to 'leak' information that the election is a done deal in hopes that opposition vote stays home figuring it won't matter now. Every vote counts and every person should exercise their right to vote. I never listen to the voting day gossip/news/exit polls, etc. until after I have voted. I'm not going to let anyone deprive me of my vote with unfounded words. So . . . Any US Citizen who can vote and hasn't been to the polls yet today - GO! No matter the outcome as long as you exercised your right to vote for your candidates. Don't let yourself down and don't let your candidates down.
On the non-political, light side . . . :-)
A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife
ran off with a State trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.

Peace and Justice for All!
"America you are beautiful . . . and blessed . . . . The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want equal justice for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life." -Blessed John Paul II
