Thank you Lord, for the opportunity
It's bad enough when innocent people die in random shootings, anywhere. But when a Holy place is desecrated with the innocence of a child's blood it seems to hit a little harder. Never taking away from the importance of death by any violent means, at all, but children in their purest form at Holy Mass, to me, is an abomination .This is extremely sad and it makes me furious. Those children, being taught of the importance and Holiness of Mass, gunned down randomly, is a true act of satanism. Clearly showing the brassness and degree Satan himself will go to, to commit the fall of the human race. For him to target the child publicly, tells us, it's not enough that he is murdering innocent children in the womb, so he goes one step further, in making a "public" display of his evil. The precious lives that died proves that he's getting desperate. Desperate to destroy. Desperate in his attempts to reign as a god he will "never ever" be.
Heaven cried again this morning as it has cried before in the slaughter of the people of war in the Middle East and Ukraine. Like the Nazi invasion and all of the cruel wars of the past. Bringing us to our knees, in the modern day war, between principalities and dominions that are unseen but surely felt. Bringing us to our knees to pray for relief in a world so stricken with mental illness and hate.
Of course, the evil one wants to destroy Love. The the greatest Commandment God has given us. He wants to destroy the family. Because that is where our strength lies. In the unity that a family provides for each other, or should provide.
Let us pray today like we've never prayed before. Always for those suffering from mental illness and the impact to the people it hurts, because this is just what today's innocent died from. The whispers of the devil in the ears of the weak, the struggling, the lost, just goes to show you how weak the "devil" is. He is a coward, who preys on everyone or anything not holding the shield. The shield of Jesus Christ. Forget the bombs and guns, the true enemy is the evil one. Pray, pray, pray. There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. Say it often and with faith.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Satan be gone.
