The USCCB has requested a nine day Novena starting on a Friday and ending the following Friday. Simply pray the following prayer: "May a change in the U.S. Supreme Court move our nation closer to the day when every human being is protected by law and welcomed in life." This is followed by an Our Father, a Hail Mary, and a Glory Be. The only other request is to fast on each Friday for this intention. For example: Abstain from meat; Abstain from any particular food or beverage; Fast (one full meal and two smaller meals which do not equal one full meal); Offer up the days inconveniences; Give up some form of entertainment for the day; Give up anything else of your choice; or Offer a work of charity. This is simple and will be powerful. You can do this alone or as a family and it is never too late to start!
