The attack on marriage is really an attack on the human person, and his dignity, for the devil seeks to pervert our true purpose, to pervert God's holy design. For many of us, we cannot march in protests or write dozens of letters or call numerous times to urge legislators to vote for the Truth. But one thing we can all do is pray and fast. We have designated one day each week to fast for these intentions:

1. That marriage may be preserved, promoted, and understood as God's plan for creation.

2. For all marriages that they may reflect the love of the Trinity.

3. For broken marriages that Christ bring healing and conversion to the spouses' souls.

4. For those who are married, for the sanctification of their marriage and their spouse. For those who are single, for their future spouse and vocation.

Its not just about the economy. . .

Happy New Year!!  Whether or not, Senator Rick Santorum wins the presidential race, he has played an invaluable part in the shaping the conversation.  While all the candidates are focused on jobs, and our economy, he has reminded voters that the founding principles of our republic were moral and not fiscal.  Ancient Rome did not decline because its armies were stretched too thin; its empire did not collapse because of its vastness.  Rather, the moral decay of its society ensured its demise.  Archbishop Chaput of Philadelphia has encouraged political involvement from serious Catholics, both as voters and candidates: he is well aware of the great responsibility that devout men and women have in regards to their country.  It is edifying that men such as Santorum have heeded his call.  Here is a great article written by Santorum today outlining his guiding principle: the dignity of human life.  Read it here.
