The Sisters of Charity Federation members at their recent meetings committed themselves to joining in prayer and fasting for wisdom and discernment as the U.S. moves toward the national elections. They call everyone to join in prayer and fasting especially on the 2nd Tuesday of every month in these months leading up to the November 2016 elections. From their election message:
We pray for all to make decisions and vote based on their conscience. We pray for leaders who will make decisions for the good of all, especially the least among us. We pray that God will protect all candidates and their families, and give them strength and wisdom. We pray not just for the candidates but all leaders and for the nation. We pray that the candidates who are voted into office will act as “servant-leaders.”
