I was wearing today a button pinned to my bright pink jacket that reads: PRAY FOR ABORTION TO END!"
At a Graduation lunch in a New Orleans Catholic Parish the Sunday following Father's Day 2013...I was astounded the responses I received & conversation it spawned.
I expect this kind of confrontation if & wear it to the grocery store but not to Catholic Holy Mass & to a party of Catholic Families at a Catholic Church.
I was told that "Even if I personally would not abort my child, I don't have the right nor do you have right to suggest to others what they should do!"
Well is preaching & teaching the Holy Gospel suggesting to folks a better way to live???
And so this statement contradicts the entire life of a christian for we are called to always live by the Holy Scriptures that say: "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!"
Let HIS life, HIS joy, HIS mercy which endures forever never cease from parting from our lips!
We are to be imitators of God who calls each by name and who speaks good things into being at all times....
We are to like God embracing all that befalls us with great FAITH...speaking hope to the hopeless and life into the dead!
I pray you see this contradiction that we all plainly see and hear all over where ever we go...
Maybe you never thought of in this perspective.
I pray that each of you from this moment forward take seriously your position on every issue and never be silent.
Now that you have been educated that you deceive yourself when believing that by not taking a position frees you from responsibility.
All persons are responsible for their own choices whether they choose not to allow themselves to be educated on issues, whether they take no stance, whether they stay in the middle and call themselves a "Moderate" and be on which ever side of the issue is less uncomfortable for them depending upon who is scrutinizing them at a particular moment.
All of these are sinful for God will spit those who are not hot or cold out of HIS mouth!
Soon and very soon..you know not the minute or the hour...you will not have the opportunity to change or mend your ways...
So shake off the hummmm drumm wishy-washy indecisive nonsense now...
That you will not burn in eternal fire because you would not speak and act upon the truth that the truth can set you free indeed without needs HE can't nor will not meet.
