I am glad that there are still a lot of people who love the Lord, it gives me great hope for the future:)Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-61810071306377462392009-11-17T15:26:58.524-05:002009-11-17T15:26:58.524-05:00Anne,

Our Catholic politicians need to take a good look at their values for many of them are way out of line with the Church.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-30179713418630025972009-11-17T09:19:30.594-05:002009-11-17T09:19:30.594-05:00A very sobering reminder of the power and conseque...A very sobering reminder of the power and consequences of our free will.

Our Catholic politicians deny their faith because they believe it is their job to serve "the people". Are we not people as well?<br /><br />Prayer, penance and fasting...Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195528409761980551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-61974654203772543312009-11-16T19:53:00.381-05:002009-11-16T19:53:00.381-05:00Karinann,

We can do what we should as citizens of this country but prayer, penance, and fasting is the best way to obtain the grace of conversion for America and the world.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-3404336046640762782009-11-16T17:52:37.150-05:002009-11-16T17:52:37.150-05:00Mary,

I vote, write letters, speak up, but I seem to be in the minority, plus our government officials are ignoring us and doing what they think is best regardless of the mayhem they are creating. Still, the battle can be fought on a spiritual level:) I will pray for your country, also.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-17486779205575653192009-11-16T15:54:30.797-05:002009-11-16T15:54:30.797-05:00America, America, do you really think you will sur...America, America, do you really think you will survive without God? Do you really think you are so great that you can do without Him?<br /><br />I was hoping that America would learn from the mistakes of old Europe but ...<br /><br />Oh well, as you say, we can only pray! ... at least, I can pray for you Americans but you all must act and vote and speak up! <br />(I'll do the same here in my country) :)<br /><br />God bless.Gabriellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063728426506582563noreply@blogger.com
