The upcoming visit of the Holy Father to the United States

The Holy Father is coming to the United States next week.   I am not confident we can depend on the media for balanced coverage.   They will report on some things the Pope says and does, but not others.   One's best bet is to read his speeches;  I am sure they will be posted on the Vatican website, maybe EWTN, I am not 100% sure.   I just urge everyone to not let their minds and spirits be informed by what the media coverage looks like, good or bad.   I recommend doing as best one can to get the information from the "original" source, the Holy Father himself.  As I said, the Vatican website, EWTN, or maybe the UCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) will probably be good places to read what he actually says, free from filters.
I pray the Holy Father will speak at least some on the Planned Parenthood videos that continue to come out, and continue to show atrocities that demand this organization be shut down in the name of justice.  If he does, I pray the media reports it.  My fear is that the image will be given that the Pope will speak more about climate change, immigration, the poor, and other issues more forcefully and more often than he does the life issue.  Of course, it may not be image, it may be the reality.  I pray to our Heavenly Father that that is not the case. 
(As an aside, not speaking about the Pope for a second,  I personally have little interest in anyone's social justice or environmental concerns if he or she does not support at minimal the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and an investigation into what they are doing.  It is hypocritical to speak of service to the poor if one supports the butchering of babies for "research".  )

Please, Holy Father, please speak on this, and more than once, during your time here.  Do not let the powers that be who will welcome you, or seek to guide your agenda, tell you what to speak.  Let the Holy Spirit give you the words that need to be spoken.

There is a battle going on in the Church and in the world today.   The powers of darkness are trying to ensnare the People of God.   They may often do so under the guise of good.   I believe during this week when the leader of the Church will be in our country that we should pray this prayer of protection to Saint Joseph with an earnestness like never before. We need his protection, and so does our Holy Father.

Most powerful guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen race of Jesus Christ; drive far from us, most loving father, every pest of error and corrupting sin. From thy place in heaven, most powerful protector, graciously come to our aid in this conflict with the power of darkness, and as of old thou didst deliver the Child Jesus from supreme peril of life, so now defend the holy Church of God from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity.
