OPPOSITE OF VENGEANCE IS LOVE
All that we are seeing
in our American cities right now is nothing other than a
reflection of
people's hearts
devoid of God's
Grace of Divine Love.
Divine Love did
not rain down lightning bolts
upon the Roman centurions
who drove the nails into His sacred body.
Rather, Jesus sought to show Divine Love when He asked
Our Father to
forgive them
, for they knew not what they did Lk 23:34).
Let us realize that
God's Justice will have its day
when the
lack of love
drives so many to act in a vengeful way.
True Love speaks up and speaks out with courage
in the face of
grave error that threatens real peace
.
In these dark times we
need people of humility and integrity
who
speak out to instruct and admonish
.
Will you be that person
???
If you dare
, pray this
Litany of Humility
to help you discover
that courage within you to help bring peace to our troubled land!!

NOVENA TO ST. ANNE
St. Anne is Mary's mother, Jesus' grandmother,
childless until an old age for motherhood,
when her lifelong prayers were finally answered.
She is known to
intercede for people
for almost any request-
especially for healing.
Ask her
intercession for
your marriage, spouse, children, grandparents or grandchildren,
and to grow in holiness and patience.
Ask for her to pray for whatever is on your heart.
She will bring your intentions to Jesus!
This Novena to St. Anne begins on Friday, July 17!

BE A SAINT!!
Times of turbulence, pandemics, & cultural revolution
require saints!
God tells us through our Catholic faith that He wants us to
be perfect as He is perfect!
Jesus was perfect in obedience and Love!
St. Pope John Paul II gave us many words of wisdom encouraging us to become saints!
He is known for teaching:
"Freedom is not doing everything you want BUT...
doing everything you ought!"
Jim Caviezel encourages us to follow that same goal
in the video below!!
