I am praying that God grant him wisdom and courage to lead this great nation and that God help him to meet the tests of these times, to heal the wounds caused by this pandemic, to ease our intense political and cultural divisions, and to bring people together with renewed dedication to America’s founding purposes, to be one nation under God committed to liberty and equality for all.
From Bishop David A. Konderla: Brothers and sisters, Pope Francis has dedicated this year to St. Joseph’ as a way to mark the 150th anniversary of the naming of St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church. At the beginning of the New Year, when we need courage to face all of the challenges ahead of us, I recommend that we all read and reflect on this beautiful Apostolic Letter: Patris Corde. May St. Joseph, husband of Mary and father to our Lord, pray for us.
For a number of years now, the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma has sponsored a local March for Life near the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States. We have gathered to pray, march, and speak out on behalf of the unborn, who have no voice to defend themselves. We gather, too, in prayer and deep sympathy for the many women and men whose lives have been shattered by abortion.
