Contraception mandate prompts Peoria bishop to instate St. Michael Prayer
From EWTN:
Bishop
Daniel Jenky of Peoria, Ill. has asked parishes, schools, hospitals and
religious houses to insert the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel into
the intercessions at Sunday Mass to pray for Catholics’ freedom.
The move comes in response to a new federal requirement that will force many Catholic organizations to provide insurance coverage for sterilizations and contraceptives.
“It is God’s invincible Archangel who commands the heavenly host, and it is the enemies of God who will ultimately be defeated,” the bishop said in a Jan. 24 letter to the Catholics of his diocese.
The prayer should take place in the general intercessions before the concluding prayer, Bishop Jenky said. He asked that the intention of the prayer be announced as “for the freedom of the Catholic Church in America.”
