Join a National Novena

Catholics for the Common Good is asking people throughout the nation to join them in a novena (nine days of prayer) in support of California's Prop (Proposition) 8, which as you may recall, supports the traditional definition of marriage. Although California voters passed Prop 8, it is now under fire through three lawsuits filed against it. The oral arguments will be March 5, so a novena of prayer is set to begin on Ash Wednesday. Why are the rest of us being asked to join in? For one thing, they need the prayer support badly. For another, as California goes, eventually so go the rest of us, often enough. I suppose we can pray now or pray later. What has this got to do with President Obama? Indirectly, nothing, but what we're seeing with Prop 8 is just the latest battle between the Culture of Death and the Culture of Life. It's all the same war, really.
