There may have never been a more consequential line up of cases for the United States of America. As a result, Chief Justice John Roberts took the time on Sunday to participate in a tradition which dates back to 1953. MSN.com reports, “Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. was the sole member of the Supreme Court to join hundreds of other Washingtonians at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle for the Red Mass, a ceremony typically held on the Sunday before the … opening of the high court’s term.”
The report went on to say that the church service was intended to, “invoke God’s blessings on those responsible for the administration of justice as well as on all public officials.”
One of the first cases that the Supreme Court will desperately need God’s blessing and guidance upon will be Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
The case, according to the American Center for Law and Justice, “is related to a Mississippi law that banned most abortions (with limited exceptions) after 15 weeks, which directly contradicts the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide prior to viability.”
Christians have been intensifying their prayer efforts in order to see the end of abortion in America. Yet there may never have been a time where those efforts seem to be so close to seeing the law overturned.
Ever since abortion has officially become the law of the land in 1973, over 61 million children have been aborted in America.
To put that number in perspective, it is more people than the populations of Greece, Belgium, Syria, and Guatemala combined.
God only knows the gifts, talents, medical breakthroughs and humanitarian aid that would have been accomplished if those children were allowed to live.
Let’s agree with Chief Justice Roberts and pray for God’s guidance and mercy upon the Supreme Court and our nation.
