Prayer to Saint Kateri Tekakwitha St. Kateri Tekakwitha, favored child and Lily of the Mohawks, I come to seek

your intercession in my present need: (mention it). I admire the virtues which

adorned your soul: love of God and neighbor, humility, obedience, patience, purity

and the spirit of sacrifice. Help me to imitate your example in my state of life.

Through the goodness and mercy of God, Who has blessed you with so many graces

which led you to the true faith and to a high degree of holiness, pray to God for me

and help me.

Obtain for me a very fervent devotion to the Holy Eucharist so that I may love

Holy Mass as you did and receive Holy Communion as often as I can. Teach me

also to be devoted to my crucified Savior as you were, that I may cheerfully bear

my daily crosses for love of Him Who suffered so much for love of me. Most of

all, I beg you to pray for me that I may avoid sin, lead a holy life and save my

soul. Amen.

RESPOND TO ABORTION EXPANSION In his recent Budget proposal, Governor Cuomo included a radical bill (S.7511) that would expand late-term abortions in New York State. The bill would eliminate New York's ban on late-term abortions allowing abortion for any reason in all nine months of pregnancy, empower non-doctors to perform abortions, and permit a baby born alive after an abortion to die of neglect and starvation. The enacted state budget re-quires three-way negotiation and must be finalized by April 1st. The State Senate is our only hope to stop this tragedy. Please let your State Senator know that they must not allow the state budget to be used as a vehicle for expanding late-term abortion. For ease of communication in contacting your Senator, go to nyscatholic.org and click on "Take Action", which will pro-vide a message you can send directly to your Senator. If you prefer to call Rep. Senator John Flanagan (Majority Leader), who will be part of the three-way negotiation, he can be reached at (631) 361-2154, and say: "I am calling because Governor Cuomo included a radical abortion expansion proposal (S.7511) in his budget bills. This proposal would eliminate virtually all limitations on abortion in New York State, particularly on late-term abortions. Please insist that these abortion provisions are removed from the final budget."
