Tomorrow is the day, and I need your help!
Priests for Life’s case – one of the very first launched against the HHS Mandate – will be argued in the second most important Court in the nation, the US Court of Appeals for the Washington, DC Circuit.
David Green, CEO of Hobby Lobby, told me, “Our family joins in prayerful support of the Priests for Life case against the HHS mandate. As our Hobby Lobby case represents the concerns of businesses, so the Priests for Life case represents the concerns of the religious non-profit groups. Together, we stand against this injustice, and for the law of God!”
As oral arguments are heard tomorrow, Thursday, May 8, we ask you to join us in prayer and in at least one of two other ways: 1) online, and 2) at the rally.
1. In prayer: We have an ongoing novena to end the HHS Mandate. See the prayers at www.priestsforlife.org/novenas/hhs-mandate.htm.
