I just can't... Biden Administration is doing this? Pushing LGBT agenda on schools? My heart hurts... :'( We must pray. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Sorrowful Heart of Mary, pray for us. This article's headline reads, "No Free Lunch: Biden Admin Will Pull Meal Funding From Schools That Don't Comply With Its LGBT Agenda" https://freebeacon.com/biden-admini...chools-that-dont-comply-with-its-lgbt-agenda/
Let's be honest about this. They could not fly this Flag of Perversion without the nod from the Vatican, which is to say our Holy Father the Pope. If you think otherwise wait for a protest from the Vatican concerning this. You will have a very,very,very long wait. Biden and his evil crew would never have chanced this if they were not certain of the ground on which they stood. If they did not think the Vatican was cool with this.
I was thinking today Terry about what Jesus was up to in the three days before He rose again. So interesting. We are told about the Harrowing of Hell. What a day that must have been in Heaven when He entered His Kingdom!
I wonder how many of the Cardinals who will Elect our next Pope are active homosexuals? The mind fairly boggles. But my guess would be that being an active sexual pervert would be a big plus marker on their C.V's. That's how bad things have become.
Padraig, think about how much has happened since this post. It's impossible to deny it anymore ~ whatever befalls any one of us, only a rock solid faith with plenty of hope and charity will see us through. imho
I think it directly comments in Scripture in reference to this time period that God will intervene, '...lest even the good be lost'. That's how hot it's getting out there, imagine how bad it's going to get. Matthew 24:24 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Liza, God's ways are mysterious. For over 3 years up until the end of last November, I was blessed to serve as chaplain in both a hospital and nursing home setting. I believe it was a good fit and God's will. Since December, I had to set that aside and focus on parish ministry. With my pastor taking a well deserved vacation with family overseas this month, current parish demands on me have intensified and life is very busy. Today was a treat to be at home doing yard work outside, waving to the children as Amish buggies roll by, pondering the homily I'll be giving this Pentecost. The garden needs more attention, though! So the change in ministry has been an adjustment. But with the way the world is, this change provides a new focus which keeps my mind off fretting and more on the needs of others. I also get to spend more time with my beloved wife. I'll pray Liza, that the peace which passes all understanding will be an anchor for you in these stormy days. Jesus loves you beyond all imagining!
True Padraig, sadly the Vatican is on board with honoring this perverted agenda, that's what makes it so painful. Heaven must be heartbroken.
I had a little thought today at adoration. it was many lay people following Pope Francis all the way to the edge/cliff of hell. We must stop there. Then I saw him cannonball in. Could be that my imagination got away with me… but I truly saw this.
These are unprecedented times we are in--Malachi Martin said a pope like this would test the faith of Catharine of Siena! I pray for his salvation with every Rosary. May God grant us the grace to stop way before the edge of the cliff.
There are two verses that stand out for me recently ~ - What's coming our way: Is 54:8 In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer. - How we get thru: Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” The only way out is through, and as someone wrote on the forum recently, "courage is nothing but fear that has said its prayers."
I suspect Joe Biden and Pope Francis are running cover for each other. The same way Reagan and Pope St John Paul 2 got their act together.
I keep hoping the Holy Father will make a mistake and go too far. That people will be shocked and waken up. But he is clever as a box of foxes.
God gives us the Grace for what we need , rather than for what we imagine we might need in the future. Which is why He said, 'Sufficient unto the day are the troubles thereof. ' We'll just have to trust Him to carry us through what is coming as He did in the past.
Pardon me if this has been posted already. It is the most sublime proof that God is with us. For those who've had a difficult week this is like a cool drink of mountain stream water for a parched throat.
It looks like at some point in time only options will be retreat or comply with evil. Then we will have to all retreat. I pray to follow God’s will.
