Ok well back from vacation visiting with terminally ill Father it was good to get him and the Grand Kids together once more. I am hopeful that we will have a second chance to get up there as I really do enjoy being with him and love him greatly.
So here I go back on the soap box. It is rare for me to become interested in matters of this world as we as Catholics are not of the world we just exist in it. But I am fascinated by the uproar on the verdict of the Casey Anderson trial. A jury of her peers found her innocent. That said that should be the end of it. But no it seems millions are screaming for this young ladies blood. However as sad as many think it is constitutionally she is free to go and her actions whatever they might have been are now between her and God. I myself take the unpopular position to stand with the laws of our nation and pronounce her innocent due to being found not guilty on the charge.
However one thing here gets my goat. A little girl is murdered, yes this is a great and horribly tragic event and millions of Americans are demanding a new trial or a investigation so that this little girl can receive her justice. It has become the rage of talk shows and it has been all the rage on facebook and other social sites.
Yet who cries for justice for the thousands of babies murdered by abortion each year. Where is the demand that justice be served for them? Where is the outraged voices that cry out for their sake? The Casey Anthony trial if ti was a abortion would have never made the news, it would have been another number in the thousands of defenseless babies that are murdered each year. Many will say "well there is a difference she was alive babies in the womb aren't. Wrong! medical evidence is showing more and more that these babies in the womb are not only alive but can feel and have brain activity. So this little girl is dead yes it is sad, but try being a baby in the first nine weeks in the womb and being torn apart by a vacuum cleaner type device and then whats left is cut out. I am shocked that this nation who calls it's self one nation under God remains silent.
In this nation thousands of babies are aborted yearly. This is justified by a woman saying "I have a right to control my own body" or "It is my choice to have or not have a abortion. Yet The Bible says " I have known you from the beginning of time and I know the numbers of hairs on your heads. God is saying he knew us long before we were born, does this sound like a fetus is not alive? America was once blessed by God, however I cannot say that with much confidence now as we have chased God out of our schools.Govt buildings and even from some private properties. We are blind to the thousands of murders committed in this land under the name of free choice or abortion. We have hungry people in this nation and the world who would consider what you had for dinner tonight as a feast for a king or possibly a dinner for three. We have young people killing each other at alarming rates because their is no moral direction taught them. Their is no God in schools and probably not at home either so what do they grow up to? Facebook,Twitter and video games. Television shows that display a lifestyle that many in our nation will never achieve. I myself would give up all I had and more to spare the lives of these helpless and innocent victims.
We live in a society where possessions and money are the rule and have all but replaced God as our goal in life. A recent poll stated that 83% of people thought they would go to heaven. Somehow many of us even me possibly are in for a nasty surprise when we die. If a man like Saint Padre Pio in his last days was afraid for his soul, I really have something to worry about. Somehow we have lost our way as a nation and the only way to set it straight again is for we the members of the body of The Holy Roman Catholic Church. We are no longer fighting for our souls but the souls of many yet we make small attempts every so often but then it fades and we become our usual self-centered selves again.
The old poster that states lead,follow or get out of the way! says it best. We as Catholic must lead the charge to bring back God to school and turn society back to the God it has rejected but deep in their hearts the know they need. For only God can fill the emptiness inside a mans heart. I am not saying this to just Catholics but to all beliefs that call themselves Christians rise also and say in one mighty voice at the voting box both now and forever, "We are one nation under God!!?
I ask that all who read this be blessed beyond measure. Store you treasure in heaven and seek first the kingdom of God in all you do. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us !
