EWTN Novena

From the foundation of the United States of America, our Bishops have expressed great trust in Mary’s motherly protection. In 1792, for instance, America’s first Roman Catholic Bishop, the Most Reverend John Carroll of Baltimore, chose the Blessed Mother as the Patroness of the United States and entrusted the newly created nation to her care. On May 13, 1846, the Bishops unanimously chose Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, as the Patroness of our land. When the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was dedicated in Washington D.C. in 1959, the Bishops again solemnly entrusted the country to her.
 
In this present moment, when there is so much division and unrest in our country, and when many of the values that formed our nation seem to be at risk, we again need to turn to our Blessed Mother. We need to pray for her intercession that leaders and all who seek public office will follow the path of Truth, guarantee religious liberty, and ensure that all human life is valued and protected, most especially the unborn.
 
On September 29th, EWTN will begin a Novena to the Mother of God for the Nation. The Novena will take place immediately following the daily televised Mass and at other times during the day.
 
We have created a special eBook to help you and your family and friends to participate in this important devotion. Please join us in this critical moment for this powerful prayer for our nation.

May God bless you during these days and May God bless our nation.
