So I’ve mentioned a couple of times, this Sunday we are beginning a Novena for Our Nation, and that will be happening immediately or shortly after this before a televised Mass at 7:00 AM Central. That’s when the Mass is. And shortly after that we will have this Novena that will begin on Sunday, up until the days of our National Election. So if you want to receive a text, or you can just listen, of course, when we are praying the Rosary and making this Novena. You can find them at ewm.com/novena, and in Spanish.
I encourage you to join us, especially this Sunday, as we begin these nine days of prayers before our National Election. Today also I would invite you and encourage you to join us for our holy hour of reparation at 2:00 PM Central Time, 3:00 PM Eastern Time, which will be happening live here in this chapel.
You may have seen in the news recently just a number of reasons why we need to make reparation. For example, this weekend in Toulouse, France, they are having a Satanic Festival, and the bishop there has consecrated that city to the Sacred Heart as a way of paying for protection. We also recently had a governor mock the reception of the holy Eucharist, and then today, as well, the archbishop of Atlanta has asked for prayers, reparation, holy hours to be made today because of a so-called “Black Mass” that will be taking place in Atlanta this evening. In light of all of these things, we need to pray and do the opposite, to express our love for God, to pray in reparation for those who offend him, who commit blasphemies. So I encourage you to join us at 2:00 p.m. Central time, live. We will have this holy hour of reparation. Today we are having a votive Mass in honor of the sacred heart of Jesus, and I’m also wearing a vestment which has the angels in adoration of Jesus, TRULY present in the Blessed Sacrament, our greatest treasure that we have here on earth. For this to be mocked and blasphemed is so offensive to all of us. In fact, a so-called black Mass is a desecration of an illicitly obtained Sacred Host from a Catholic Church. In response to that we offer our love and devotion, our reparative prayer.
