At Last we have the Word among us through Faith

At last we have the Word among us through our Faith

Perhaps this is a strange comment since our whole Christian inheritance has been about Jesus.  At least that is what most Catholics have been indoctrinated to understand from their parents and grand-parents.  Then why are we now experiencing a severe decline in Church attendance?  It is not just Catholic clergy being puzzled regarding the empty pews that one time were overflowing with parishioners trying to find an empty seat.   Have my homilies become that boring or missing the point of reasonable events that should get to the point of today’s problems that would have aroused the Son of God?  

Of course Jesus used parables that exemplified the vocations of his hearers.  He spoke to fishermen with the theme of making them fishers of men.  He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”  (Mt 4: 19).  To those who tended to the flocks of sheep, he explained, “What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?”  (Lk 15: 4).

Today, 2025, with the similar events of social infractions where the weakest among us have no say in what is happening in their environment.  My daughter did not have to listen to an incorrect theme of gender changes by a school system that is currently playing God with their biological choice.  Of course, she attended a Catholic School and this issue was not yet invoked.  But today, even parents are restricted from knowing what is being promoted in the public schools in too many states and school systems.  

The loss of more than one child is being affected.  We need to place the many thousands around our hearts and fight for their freedom from Satanic influence.  The evil that has penetrated the minds of so many teachers and school systems has turned citizens into demonic perpetrators who have lost all spiritual adherence to Christ who died to forgive them.  They are like the one lost sheep who could have become a meal for the wolf.  These school systems promoting sex-change to their 2, 3, and 4 year olds are becoming fodder for Satan and his treachery against Christ.  

We no longer need to establish a parable to get the point into the teachers that are already part of this evil that is over-taking the holiness of God’s people; join in protecting the youngest generation of humanity from the devil’s attempt to destroy innocent childrens’ minds.  It is bad enough that abortion has caused so many murders of unborn babies, now this atrocity is taking control of yours and my God-given freedom to control the right to life especially once they reach the age of school-children.  

Who among us would not place our integrity at risk in order to stand up for the eternal rights of the weakest of our society; our sons and daughters all who are our most precious posterity!

Let us find the True Word of God; Jesus Christ who is there for a right to life of our children.
