I would not accept the Gospel, but for the authority of the Catholic Church
If you're anything like me, you're probably asking yourself, "how could this happen in America?" Yep, folks, I can't bear to choose between Hillary or Trump. I don't want either one of those to be Commander in Chief of our country.
But, that's just one more reason for me to get on my knees and pray. I firmly believe that God is still in charge and although, we probably deserve that one of these two should lead our country, I'm asking God to be merciful and send us someone who pleases Him.
My family and I just started praying a Novena to St. Jude for that intention, that God may provide us with a Godly person to lead our country. I hope that all of you are praying for the same cause. For those who have not yet started, perhaps, you will join us.
Novena To St. Jude
Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly - that God may grant us Godly men for whom we may vote who will uphold His will.
- and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Amen
PRAYER

St. Jude pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen.
Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus
