Novena Prayer for Conversion from Contraception

Fr. Euteneuer has posted a novena for prayer for conversion from contraception that starts tomorrow and goes to the Feast of the Annunciation. Also, read his piece The Church Will Not Be Hannitized about the response to all of what has been going on with Sean Hannity. He has received "more than 1250 emails and dozens of other communications which have run clearly 90-10 in favor of the Church’s teaching"!

Novena Prayer for Conversion from Contraception
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer
March 15, 2007

This prayer is to be prayed prior to the Feast of the Annunciation (this year Monday, March 26th) from Saturday, March 17th to Sunday, March 25th, 2007 inclusive, as a novena of conversion for those who use or promote contraception

Heavenly Father, “from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name,” (Eph 3:15) grant conversion of heart to our world, our society, our families and especially to our own hearts regarding the sin of contraception.

We believe, beyond a doubt, what the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church teaches about this moral evil, and we wish to be a light to the nations to make the truth known wherever this evil practice and ideology has taken root.

Call us to be faithful to your command to “Be fruitful and multiply!” so that we may advance the civilization of life and love that you wish to create for the human family.

Bring to conversion those who, in public or private, lead others into the sin of contraception and who erroneously teach that it prevents abortion. Help us all to be purified of the lies and distortions of the culture of death by obedience to the truth and bring us all to the fullness of truth through the guidance of your Church.

We ask this through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, in whose fertile womb your Blessed Son found his home on earth.

Amen.
