From the Ordo, it says on this anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision on Roe versus Wade, 1973: `In all the Dioceses of the United States of America, January 22 shall be observed as a particular day of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life and of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion.
And we’re celebrating today the Mass for giving thanks to God and for the gift of human life.You know, the Israelites were always tempted to conform to pagan religion, Sacrificing to idols, even human sacrifice. And we are the new Israel, and we continue to be tempted to the culture of death that supports abortion.
The American people have elected a president who was prolife but has caved in to the antil-ife death party that keeps abortion in their platform.
He sold his soul to the devil, and so did all those who voted for abortion.
Baby lives matter! And millions of them have been sacrificed to the idols of convenience and prosperity. So we do penance today and we pray this year, dedicated to Saint Joseph, for our Catholic president...that he bravely stand up and protect life as did his patron. Joseph protected Jesus and Mary and from Herod and his party.
So let us pray for our president’s conversion...and that of all Catholics who voted for death to the innocent.
From the Litany of Saint Joseph, we pray:
Joseph most strong, pray for us.
Joseph most obedient, pray for us.
Joseph most faithful, pray for us.”
Father James Doran, O.M.V., January 22, 2021
