Pray for Dobbs

In the United States, abortion takes the lives of 600,000 babies per year. An upcoming Supreme Court case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, could change that. This could be the case that could overturn Roe v. Wade. Here are several powerful ways you can pray in a special way for the outcome of this case and the dignity of all human life. 

• Participate in the nationwide Pray for Dobbs online prayer event on Thursday, November 18, at 8:00 p.m. (EST).
• Join Archbishop Schnurr for a special Mass for this intention at 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday, November 30, at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, followed by exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. (The Mass will also be livestreamed for those who cannot attend in person.)

• Attend Mass, spend time in adoration, and/or pray a rosary on December 1, the day the Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments for the case. As a reminder, our Mother of Mercy Adoration Chapel is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and we have eucharistic exposition in the church on Wednesday, December 1, from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
• Check out this podcast and interview on the case from Bob Wurzelbacher, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati's director of Respect Life Ministries. 
  
• Regularly pray and fast in any number of ways in the coming months until the case is decided next summer.

"With God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). Let us continue to hope and pray for the unborn and their mothers, to end the tragedy of abortion in this country.
