As Souls and Liberty previously reported, earlier this year Gov. Bill Lee (R) of Tennessee signed a historic resolution calling on citizens of the Volunteer State to intercede for one another with prayer and fasting throughout the month of July.
Today, the Souls and Liberty Action Network is answering the call.
On Saturday, July 13 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern /9:00 a.m. Pacific, members of Souls and Liberty Action Network's Tennessee chapter will be gathering at Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza in Farragut, greater Knoxville, for a public 'Patriotic Rosary.'
Organized by John Manczko, Action Network Captain of Tennessee, the event will be livestreamed on YouTube, and will include Action Network Captains from across the United States.
Manczko is asking Knoxville-area Catholics to meet him in Farragut for prayer, and inviting Catholics elsewhere to join remotely, via the livestream.
"As Catholics, we dedicate the month of July to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus," he notes. "We're planning to synchronize our prayers with others around the country."
The gathering was inspired in part by House Joint Resolution 803, which implores citizens of the state "to seek God's hand of mercy, healing on Tennessee."
Signed by Gov. Bill Lee, the measure calls "all those who are physically able and spiritually inclined to do so to join in a thirty-day season of prayer and intermittent fasting … as a means of seeking God's blessing and humbling ourselves to receive His Grace and Mercy, transforming ourselves, our communities, our State, and our Nation."
A letter accompanying the proclamation opens with 2 Chronicles 7:14, reminding Tennesseans of God's promise to restore the repentant to righteousness and blessing:
Manczko and the entire Souls and Liberty Action Network team welcome anyone interested in participating in the Patriotic Rosary to join them, either in person in Farragut, or via the YouTube livestream (available by clicking here) at 12:00 p.m. Eastern / 9:00 a.m. Pacific.
"This is a rain or shine event," Manczko says. "I hope to see many of you there on Saturday!"
"Let us fix our gaze on the blood of Christ and realize how precious it is to the Father," he adds, quoting Pope St. Clement I, "seeing that it was poured out for our salvation and brought the grace of conversion to the whole world."
