ON THE SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF 9-11

Today the world remembers the day of infamy that has
come to be called 911. On September 11, 2001 the unthinkable happened—We were attacked by a hostile force deep within our own country.
We were all shocked, many people were surprised, angry, saddened, or had their faith shaken.

Political correctness and genuine civility restrain
us seven years later from saying much of what many of us think. We must love our country in season and out of season, convenient or inconvenient, whether the rest of the world does or not. That, however, does not mean we can't correct ourselves, better ourselves.
“Know thyself,” the Philosopher says.

Seven years later I admit that I am weary of the
arguments at both extremes. At times the far left seems to truly despise the hand that feeds it. America bashing in some quarters has taken on the respectability of a rite of passage, if not a
religion. You might expect it from some of the western European nations we have repeatedly bailed out of the hell visited on them by the Hitlers, Stalins, and other assorted thugs and mass murderers. It is shocking, however, when immigrants that have gone from relative rags to riches (most of us) hate themselves so venomously (We are the country after all).

On the other hand, there are those on the far right
that seem to have a blind patriotism that discounts the evils this poor nation “under God” has subjugated itself to. We are in an economic crisis of unprecedented proportions, not just because of
dependence on foreign oil, the housing crash, etc., but because of the crass negligence of the leaders we have voted into office—in both parties. Poor and weak leadership is punishment for sin. In an indirect
way, so are all of the other evils that beset creation. An increasing number of countries hate us for various reasons. Terrorism has intruded itself into our daily life. We worry constantly about a host of evils.
Why?

Do you suppose that a nation and the people that
have democratically elected the leaders of that nation can be pleasing to God if they were guilty of the outrageous crime of genocide? If a nation legally and systematically had murdered 48,000,000 unwanted women
over 60 years of age, would that nation be favored, blessed, and protected by God?
Alright, change it to men under 30 years of age. Human
beings are human beings.

We have under the specious pretext of law—the law
of the highest Court in the land—murdered 48,000,000 innocent human beings through abortion in this country since that dark day Satan donned judicial robes and issued his decision in Roe v. Wade. The nation, and most of the world, is “bewitched” into thinking that this is somehow acceptable because a court of morally blind, if not insane, men said so. Hitler said many things, as did Stalin, and every other individual or institution living apart from God and His unalterable law. They are all gone. The immutable will of God and His truth still stand and always will.

As we recall the hell of 911 and pray for the
victims, their families, and the nation in general, remember that God is not a fool, nor is He a disinterested party in the affairs of men.
God knows every human being. He created from all eternity by name. He loves each one as if they were His only child. How shall one nation under God answer God when He calls for an accounting for these beloved
souls? Will we be protected from our enemies, from a never-ending cascade of natural disasters, from financial ruin?

May the Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of Life,
enlighten our minds and strengthen our wills to love the good and fight evil tirelessly; to defend the most innocent and helpless of our brothers and sisters—the unborn. The hour is late, darkness is falling, a day of reckoning is fast upon us. Now is the time to attack the evils of the day, abortion being the preeminent evil, for if the right to life is undermined, eroded, and ultimately destroyed, no other rights are
relevant or meaningful.

God Bless You,

Father John Corapi

Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration
and continue with Your help,
so that all our prayers and works may begin in You
and by You be happily ended.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

40 Days for Life - an opportunity to serve God by bringing the light and love of Jesus Christ to those people who are lost in darkness and despair. To give them hope - to let them know there are caring people waiting to extend a helping hand - to let them know there is a God who loves them. 40 Days for Life - an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ as He travels to seek out His lost children. "For the Son of Man Came to seek and to save the lost" Luke 19:10. Please God, make us better witnesses to your love, that hearts may be converted and that lives may be saved. In the Holy Name of Jesus, Amen!

We did a 24/7 vigil that caused the local Planned Parenthood to erect a fence and hire a security guard. Yet, it was peaceful. It was prayerful. Lives were changed.

Surely this is a movement of God in our time that has served to bind the entire prolife community together and to bring out many more people into the streets to witness to life.
