The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has spoken out numerous times over the past couple months in opposition to the policy mandate of the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) issued on January 20, 2012 that obliges healthcare providers to supply contraceptives including sterilization and some abortifacients (provided these procedures and products are FDA-approved)
The Nashville Dominicans just sent out a special edition email newsletter standing with the USCCB and pledging to make a novena of prayer and fasting beginning on the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, this Saturday, February 11, 2012, making the consecration of the United States of America to the Immaculate Heart of Mary each day.
I invite you to join them in prayer, as I will, and to take advantage of the resources provided to educate yourself on the matter and contact your congressional representatives accordingly. Please share widely!
Love the Immaculata!
Mariam cogita, Mariam invoca
