Frederick L MillerEWTN Global Catholic Network is holding a special novena for the nation in advance of the 2020 U.S. election. The special "Novena to the Mother of God for the Nation" was composed by Father Frederick Miller, S.T.D, an adjunct professor of Systematic Theology in Immaculate Conception Seminary who serves as Spiritual Director of The College Seminary of the Immaculate Conception at St. Andrew's Hall.

News of the novena was published by Catholic news organizations throughout the United States. The Catholic Miscellany notes that

EWTN collaborated with one of the pre-eminent Marian theologians in the U.S. on the creation of this beautiful novena. Father Frederick Miller, a frequent EWTN guest and the spiritual director of the College Seminary of the Immaculate Conception at Seton Hall University, composed the meditations and prayers which invoke Mary's intercession for our nation.

The network will broadcast the novena's prayers daily.
