Fr. Corapi Calls for a Rosary
 Novena Leading up to the Election



A 
Call 
for 
a 
Rosary 
Novena

Among 
the 
most 
important 
titles 
we 
have 
in 
the 
Catholic 
Church 
for 
the 
Blessed 
Virgin 
Mary 
are 
Our
 Lady 
of 
Victory 
and 
Our 
Lady 
of 
the 
Rosary. 
These 
titles 
can 
be 
traced 
back 
to 
one 
of 
the 
most
 decisive
 times
 in
 the
 history
 of 
the 
world 
and 
Christendom. 
The 
Battle 
of 
Lepan to 
took 
place 
on 
October 
7 
(date
 of
 feast 
of 
Our
 Lady 
of 
Rosary), 
1571. 
This 
proved 
to 
be
 the
 most 
crucial 
battle 
for 
the 
Christian 
forces
 against 
the
 radical 
Muslim 
navy 
of 
Turkey. 
Pope 
Pius 
V 
led
 a 
procession
 around
 St. 
Peter’s 
Square 
in
 Vatican
 City
 praying 
the 
Rosary. 
He 
showed 
true 
pastoral 
leadership 
in 
recognizing 
the
 danger 
posed 
to
 Christendom
 by
 the
 radical 
Muslim 
forces,
 and
 in 
using
 the
 means
 necessary
 to
 defeat
 it.
 Spiritual
 battles 
require 
spiritual 
weapons, 
and 
this 
more 
than 
anything 
was 
a 
battle 
that 
had
 its 
origins 
in 
the
 spiritual 
order — a 
true 
battle 
between 
good 
and 
evil.


Today
 we 
have 
a 
similar 
spiritual 
battle 
in 
progress — a 
battle 
between 
the 
forces 
of 
good 
and 
evil, 
light
 and 
darkness, 
truth 
and 
lies, 
life 
and 
death. 
If 
we 
do 
not 
soon 
stop 
the 
genocide 
of
 abortion 
in 
the
 United 
States, 
we 
shall 
run 
the 
course 
of 
all 
those 
that 
prove 
by 
their 
actions 
that 
they 
are 
enemies 
of
 God — total
 collapse,
 economic,
 social, 
and 
national. 
The
 moral
 demise
 of
 a 
nation
 results
 in 
the
 ultimate
 demise 
of 
 a 
nation. 
God
 is 
not 
a 
disinterested 
spectator 
to 
the 
affairs 
of 
man. 
Life 
begins 
at 
conception. This 
is 
an
 unalterable 
formal
 teaching
 of
 the 
Catholic
 Church.
 If
 you
 do
 not
 accept
 this
 you
 are
 a
 heretic
 in
 plain
 English. 
A
 single
 abortion 
is
 homicide. 
The 
more 
than
 48,000,000
 abortions
 since 
Roe 
v.
 Wade in the 
United
 States 
constitute 
genocide 
by
 definition. 
The 
group
 singled 
out 
for 
death — unwanted,
 unborn
 children.


No
 other 
issue, 
not 
all 
other 
issues 
taken
 together, 
can 
constitute 
a
 proportionate 
reason 
for
 voting 
for
 candidates 
that 
intend 
to 
preserve 
and 
defend 
this 
holocaust 
of 
innocent 
human
 life
 that
 is
 abortion.


I
 strongly 
urge
 every
one 
of 
you 
to 
make 
a 
Novena 
and 
pray 
the 
Rosary 
to 
Our 
Lady
 of 
Victory
 between
 October 
27th 
and
 Election
 Day,
 November
 4th. 
Pray
 that
 God’s
 will
 be
 done
 and
 the
 most 
innocent 
and 
utterly 
vulnerable 
of 
our 
brothers 
and 
sisters 
will 
be 
protected 
from
 this
 barbaric 
and 
grossly
 sinful 
blight 
on 
society 
that 
is 
abortion. 
No
 woman, 
and
 no
 man, 
has 
the
 right 
to 
choose 
to 
murder 
an 
innocent 
human 
being.



May 
God
 grant 
us 
the 
wisdom, 
knowledge,
 understanding,
 and
 counsel 
to 
form
 our
 conscience 
in
 accordance 
with
 authentic 
Catholic 
teaching, 
and 
then 
vote 
that 
well‐formed 
Catholic 
conscience.
