Novena for the Supreme Court – Day 7: Fortitude
Join in praying the Novena for the Supreme Court to seek God's guidance for just rulings and moral decisions.
Today's Focus: Fortitude
On this seventh day of the Novena for the Supreme Court, we pray for courage and strength for Supreme Court justices. We ask God to grant them the grace of fortitude to make difficult but just decisions.
Prayer for Day 7
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for the many freedoms we are blessed with in America. We ask You to bless our country, and particularly to bring about good for our country through the Supreme Court.
Many of us face the temptation to waver in doing good when we experience pressure from others. Some members of the Supreme Court have wavered in using their influence for good as they ought and have instead taken the easier path in the past.
Please bless and assist all members of the Supreme Court, and we particularly ask You today to grant the grace of fortitude to all of the Supreme Court justices! Help them to have the courage and strength to make difficult but just decisions.
Help us to grow in every virtue necessary for holiness each day. Help us to always strive to do good, no matter how difficult it might be.
And I especially ask in this novena… (State your intentions here)
Lord, hear our prayers!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Reflection for Today
Today we pray for courage and strength for Supreme Court justices. Fortitude is the foundation of our relationship with God and the key to understanding His plan for society.
God is our Father, who loves us with a perfect love and is always ready to give us courage. As our Father, He knows exactly what we need and when we need it, especially when it comes to making difficult decisions.
The focus on fortitude for justices reminds us that doing what is right often requires courage. God calls us to pray for the justices to have the strength to make difficult but just decisions.
As we continue this novena, let us ask God to increase our courage and strength. Let us ask Him to help us turn to Him with confidence in every need, knowing that He will always give us the fortitude to do what is right.
Remember that God's gift of fortitude is not limited by time or circumstance. He is perpetually ready to give us courage, and we can trust completely in His divine strength and love.
