You have probably heard of the HHS contraception mandate in the United States. I had many people ask me to do a novena to pray for this situation. While this novena isn't exclusively for that intention, it was a big part of what motivated me to do this novena.
 
So, today I'd like to pray specifically for the HHS contraception mandate that threatens the freedom of the Church in America. Please pray with me for a reversal of this policy and a full protection under the law for the conscience rights for the faithful in the US!
 
Here are the novena prayers for today:
 
Day 3 - Religious Freedom Novena Prayers 
 
Oh great cloud of witnesses! Oh host of Angels and Saints worshiping God for all eternity! Oh holy ones in heaven above, Pray for us!
 
You who were once part of the Church on earth, you who were faithful servants of the Church Militant, you who suffered for the love of God, Pray for us!
 
In all ages, the Church is persecuted and hated. We pray, oh Lord, through your holy Saints, that we may be blessed with the freedom to worship and adore you at all times! We pray that you may bless your Church throughout the world and me personally with your grace to persevere with love in the face of persecution just as You did on the Cross.
