THE TRUMPET CALL!
Comfort Catholicism was being addressed in these words as I opened to You tube,
Catholic Opinion, Msgr, Charles Pope, from National Catholic Register written on Aug. 23, 2016
"IF ever there were a time to wear soft garments,
it's not now!"
Msgr.Charles Pope of Life Site news was teaching and exhorting. He continued in quoting
scripture from 1 Corinthians 14: 8...
"If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?" and
Psalm 144: 1
"Blessed be the Lord my rock, Who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle..."
Hands for prayer? Fingers for rosaries? were my first thoughts. Never have I been a proponent
of wars, killing, or the misery and chaos that it brings;
He had my ear!
...here was a Monsignor, quoting scripture, which is God's holy Word...

about war?
He continued; "Parents, leaders...prepare the children for difficult times ahead. After all these years of "comfort Catholicism"will the average American parishioner or clergyman be willing or able to endure suffering, persecution and loss which will get bolder by the month and the year?"
"The dark movements that marched in under the banners and guise of tolerance...
have gained power and are seeking to criminalize anyone who resists their vision."
Now I am listening!
...and remembering St. Pope John Paul 2nd stating in his encyclical to the Family a same warning
...and remembering St. Pope John Paul 2nd stating in his encyclical to the Family a same warning
about the word "tolerance" and the meaning. He basically said that when we tolerate and accept everything as a good in itself, then we are admitting there is no Absolute, and we leave God and our responsibility for our actions out of the equation. Chaos ensues.
Through the centuries, our Blessed Mother Mary continually pleads with us in all Her appearances to the children...
"PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!"
Clearly, Psalm 144 tells us" the fruit of victory is a peace filled nation of abundance for all."
Lift high the Banners of LOVE!
Christ has won us the Victory...Jericho must fall!
Lord Jesus Christ....
we pray for a strong and courageous Faith. Faith built upon love...
Love, even for those who would seek to persecute our belief in You.
Mother Mary, teach us how to pray. All of us are Your children.
Bring us together by the power of the Holy Spirit,
for the Glory of God our Father. Amen
