US BISHOPS URGE PRAYER FOR ELECTIONS: The U.S. bishops are inviting Catholics to pray a novena for life, justice and peace ahead of the November elections. The prayer, titled Novena for Faithful Citizenship, is available on the Web site of the U.S. bishops' conference (www.faithfulcitizenship.org) until the Nov. 4 elections. The Novena is part of the bishops’ campaign to help Catholics develop well-formed consciences for addressing political and social questions. It is the hope of the U.S. bishops that Catholics will enter into a prayerful reflection as they prepare to vote. The novena of 9 days can be prayed on any 9 consecutive days, or beginning on October 26 which is 9 days before the general election.
