FROM THE MAILBAG
VIA Priests for Life: Priests for Life is awaiting word from the Supreme Court on its case, Priests for Life vs. HHS, challenging the HHS mandate. Our case illustrates the importance of the 2016 elections.
With the Supreme Court evenly divided along ideological lines, it becomes clear that how Americans vote in November will not only impact the next four years, but the next 40 years as well. The president and the Senate together shape the Supreme Court and the other federal courts. Depending on what party controls each branch of government, the court will move solidly to the right or to the left. The differences between the two parties on fundamental issues could not be more clear, more stark, or more extreme.
I have recorded a series of short videos to explain more about Priests for Life vs. HHS, the Supreme Court case in which Priests for Life is a petitioner along with 36 others. The videos can be found atMandateMinutes.com. Please share them with your contacts in email and on social media.
Please also read and share a list of talking points about the case found at IStandwithPFL.com.
Voters who find themselves dissatisfied with the likely Democratic and Republican candidates have to look beyond the nominees themselves and understand the impact of a party, and its prevailing philosophies, not only on the next four years but on the next 40 years. Among other things, do we want to protect the unborn or do we want to continue to be a nation that sanctions the murder of its most vulnerable citizens?
You can find information on voting in your state at PoliticalResponsibility.
Finally, please pray for the outcome of the election by joining us in saying a Prayer for our Nation as we Prepare to Elect our Leaders from now until Election Day.
Blessings,
Fr. Frank Pavone National Director, Priests for Life

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 5- "On painstaking and true repentance"
7.
Others stood in prayer with their hands tied behind their backs like
criminals; their faces, darkened by sorrow, bent to the earth. They
regarded themselves as unworthy to look up to Heaven. Overwhelmed by the
embarrassment of their thoughts and conscience, they could not find
anything to say or pray about to God, how or with what to begin their
prayers. But filled with darkness and a blank despair, they offered to
God nothing but a speechless soul and a voiceless mind.Prayer request? Send an email to: PrayerRequest3@aol.com
