News to Pray for

Catholics Put Up a Fight at Notre Dame!

Many Catholic students at Notre Dame have come together to protest the University's invitation to President Obama, and they have called for a Rosary Crusade:


In recent weeks the announcement of President Barack Obama as Notre Dame's commencement speaker has caused much controversy. We, the concerned students at Notre Dame, are attentive to this and have led several efforts to voice our opposition to the decision to honor President Obama with a doctor of laws degree, given his stance on abortion.... We remember, however, that Notre Dame is indeed Our Lady's University and that our strongest weapon to fight this public scandal and disregard for the importance of life is to have recourse to prayer.

As such, we now call for a Rosary Crusade of One Million Rosaries.

We students will pray the rosary daily for 40 days – from Wednesday of Holy Week (4/8/09) until the day of commencement (5/17/09). We will pray especially for conversion of heart for President Obama, that he might grow to respect life from conception to natural death and that his policies might reflect that (in particular that he will reverse his pro-abortion stance). As a secondary intention, we will pray for the University of Notre Dame, and all Catholic universities, that they might grow in their understanding of what it means to be Catholic and truly embrace their Catholic identity. Finally, we pray that this country, and all countries throughout the world might embrace a greater respect for life in all its stages....


We encourage you to visit our website to report how many rosaries you have said for this intention (www.ndresponse.com).... Assured of Victory, we call to mind the words of the Blessed Mother given at Fatima: "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph."

Onward to Victory,

ND Response
