Prayer to Consecrate the 2025 Canadian Election
To the Blessed Virgin Mary
Mary Immaculate, living tabernacle of the Divinity, where the eternal
Wisdom lies hidden to be adored and served by angels and men, Queen of
heaven and of earth, beneath whose sway are subject all things that are
lower than God, sorrowful and mindful of our own sinfulness and the sins of
our nation, we come to Thee, our refuge and hope.
Knowing that our country cannot be saved by our own works and mindful of
how much our nation has departed from the ways of Thy Son, we humbly
ask that Thou wouldst turn Thine eyes upon our country to bring about its
conversion. We consecrate to Thee the integrity of the upcoming election
and its outcome, so that what is spiritually and morally best for the citizens
of our country may be accomplished, and that all of those who are elected
would govern according to the spiritual and moral principles which will bring
our nation into conformity with the teachings of Thy Son.
Give grace to the citizens of this land so that they will choose leaders
according to the Sacred Heart of Thy Son, that His glory may be made
manifest, lest we be given the leaders we deserve. Trusting in the
providential care of God the Father and Thy maternal care, we have perfect
confidence that Thou wilt take care of us and will not leave us forsaken. O
Mary Immaculate, pray for us. Amen.

Joint Statement on Protecting Children from Gender Ideology
Delivered to the plenary of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva
March 17, 2025
This joint statement has been endorsed by over 70 organizations from across five continents.
Mr. President,
As the most vulnerable members of society, children deserve unwavering care, protection, and support. It is our collective responsibility to create an environment that enables their full development while safeguarding their mental and physical integrity. Yet today, in many countries, the pervasive influence of gender ideology undermines this imperative.
Under the guise of promoting diversity and inclusion, children in critical developmental stages are taught that they may have been born in the wrong body, instilling confusion and emotional distress instead of self-worth and acceptance. Worse, educational institutions actively facilitate or engage in children’s so-called ‘gender transition’, often without their parents’ consent or knowledge.
Moreover, in the name of so-called ‘gender-affirming care’, vulnerable children who experience discomfort with their bodies are rushed onto an irreversible path of lifelong medicalization. Under widely discredited standards of care, chemical and even surgical mutilation procedures are carried out with no regard for underlying psychological conditions and documented long-term risks. Meanwhile, concerned parents are misled, emotionally blackmailed into consenting, or outright excluded from these life-altering decisions.
No longer, Mr. President, can this Council remain silent while these egregious abuses persist!
A society that exposes children to irreparable harm while stripping parents of their rightful role does not act in the best interests of children—it fails them utterly. We urge all States and the United Nations to put an immediate end to this radical agenda and prioritize ethical and evidence-based care over poisonous ideology.
Our children’s future demands nothing less.
Thank you.
