I like this approach.
The pro-abortion, pro-infantide, anti-Catholic, anti-1st Amendment Pres. Obama – about whose scantily documented past we really don’t know very much – will be in Houston… fund-raising on the pretext of doing something “presidential”.
The Archdiocese, on the other hand, is advertising a prayer event to coincide with the campaigner’s visit.
I received this in my email:
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST/GATHERING
Archdiocesan Respect Life Office – Helpers of God’s Precious Infants
President Obama will be fundraising at Union Station/Minute Maid ParkFriday March 9th at 3:30 pm.
Join in Praying with usAnnunciation Catholic Church
1618 Texas Avenue (directly across from Minute Maid Park)12 noon Mass – 5 p.m..
Stations of the Cross
AdorationCarpooling is encouraged.
If you can not attend please pray for our country and elected officials.
Pass this to everyone.
Prayer and fasting for our nation and our president are essential.
I hope they also pray the maledictory psalms.
Will Pres. Obama visit the new abortion-mill super-store built by his familiars at Planned Parenthood?
Excellent! Fighting evil with prayer/masses/fasting IS a great idea.
Everyone here should mark March 9th down on their calendar with the prayer time adjusted for their time zone, and pray in union with this stations of the cross/adoration/mass.
Who’s on board? I am!
I think they should gather outside Obama’s event and just say a good, loud Our Father. Especially the last part.

That’s my parish! I just may be able to join in the fun!
Father, would it be possible to add your post setting forth the maledictory Psalms to your quick links under your title bar, for easy reference?
This is my parish, God willing I am planning to come over with my daughter.
We’d better pray for the conversion of the President, both now and after the election. Obama may not be Muslim, but he gives no evidence of Christian faith having a meaningful impact on either his public or personal life; and Romney, who has an outside chance of becoming president, is a polytheist.
While I didn’t even know that they existed in Houston, I figure this is a good post to mention that the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants has an excellent pro-life program. I’ve encountered them in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York and their active, prayerful response to the evils of abortion is awesome. For whatever a blog-commenter’s endorsement is worth, I highly encourage looking into them if they have them in your diocese. Even if you can’t attend their prayer vigils regularly (I haven’t been able to, either) it’s worth going when you can… it provides a spiritual jolt I’ve only felt surpassed by the Sacraments.
