A friend at morning Mass asked if I could send on a prayer request for her very ill niece, Ophelia.
So much that needs prayer in our world, today, but if you could send a prayer heavenward for the intentions of Ophelia and her family, I know you will be likewise blessed.
Another important prayer request that deals with basic freedoms could be taken away as soon as tomorrow.
Tomorrow, August 1, 2013, the Health and Human Services contraception mandate
goes into effect.
In other words, tonight at midnight we'll
lose a key part of our religious liberty.
This is more
than unacceptable; it's un-American. But Congress failed to act when we lobbied
them to institute conscience protections legislation and only President Obama
can prevent this destructive mandate from going into effect...but we know
that will never happen.
