Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke is calling all Catholics to join in prayer over the next nine months as America faces historic challenges, and CatholicVote is joining His Eminence.
The novena will begin March 12 and end with a consecration on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12.
In his video message, Cardinal Burke notes that the world today is ravaged by hatred, confusion, disease, starvation, and war. It seems as though everywhere we turn, there is another story of an attack against the Church and the faithful. But it is now more than ever, he says, that we must remain hopeful.
Cardinal Burke reminds us that this is not the first time in history that the world has been in this state. In the early 16th century the world saw much of what we are seeing today and a bishop wrote “unless the hand of God intervenes directly, all will be lost.”
Soon after, Our Lady appeared to Saint Juan Diego and changed the course of human history.
Cardinal Burke is inviting Catholics to return once again to Mary in her kindness through a nine-month novena. He says:
I’m calling on every Catholic in America to return to Our Lady and join in prayer.

Participants in the novena will receive emails from Cardinal Burke every month with encouragement and spiritual direction. Join a community of prayer warriors in praying for the healing of our country.
CatholicVote Vice President Josh Mercer commented: “We have been diligent in defending America, and it is now time to step forward in faith and begin a new period of fighting for freedom and faith – always beginning in prayer.”
“That’s why CatholicVote is 100% supporting Cardinal Burke’s novena. To maintain the peace and joy of Christ, we must start with Our Lady,” he added.
