# Praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for Election Integrity and the Unborn
*2020-11-05*

> Bill Young leads a prayerful Chaplet of Divine Mercy, asking for a fair election count and for an end to abortion, invoking the mercy of Christ for the unborn.

## Prayer for a Free and Fair Election

Bill opens by urging listeners to pray that every legal vote be counted in the ongoing election. He stresses the importance of verified signatures, proper poll watching, and the exclusion of any criminal influence, asking God to protect the integrity of the process.

## The Tragedy of Abortion and the Value of Unborn Life

Bill passionately argues that abortion is the killing of innocent lives, citing a story about Mother Teresa’s response to why cancer exists—because a potential scientist who could cure it was aborted. He calls abortion the greatest genocide in human history and implores all Catholics, especially bishops and Pope Francis, to speak out against it.

## The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Bill leads the Chaplet, beginning with the sign of the cross and an opening prayer to the Divine Mercy of Jesus. He recites the Our Father, Hail Mary, and the Apostles’ Creed, then proceeds through the traditional prayers of the Chaplet, repeatedly invoking, “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”

He concludes with a series of invocations of “Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world,” followed by a closing prayer asking God to increase His mercy in us, especially in moments of despair.

## Meditation on the Suffering Unborn

Bill shares a vivid, heartbreaking image of a fetus in the womb being torn apart, describing its silent scream that only God can hear. He pleads for the Church’s leaders to hear these cries and for the faithful to commit themselves to ending abortion, asking Christ to take the pain away from the unborn.

*May we unite in prayer for truthful elections and for the protection of every unborn life, trusting in Divine Mercy to bring healing.*
