What can you do to stop Issue 1 from passing?
- Pray: Prayer is our most powerful tool in times like these. The 54-day rosary novena has already started, but you can join now. Get daily reminders by signing up for a daily email reminder with novena prayers at pray54ohio.org.
- FAST: As Jesus taught, some things can only be overcome through prayer and fasting. If you’re able, consider fasting every Friday until election day.
- Almsgiving: As St. Peter Chrysologus wrote, “Fasting is the soul of prayer, mercy is the life-blood of fasting. Let no one try to separate them; they cannot be separated. If you have only one of them or not all together, you have nothing…” St. Peter assures us that, “Prayer knocks at the door, fasting obtains, mercy receives…” Give to ministries that support women and children.
