The trouble with choices

Please pray the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary EVERY DAY for peace,the salvation of expecting mothers, the ending of abortion, and for the intentions of the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI.



Please pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Daily for the mercy of God upon us, the faithful, the Pope, all Bishops, all Priests, all religious, those who do not believe in God and who do not yet know Jesus, the Holy souls in purgatory, all in need, those who have left the Church, those who attack the Church, and those who seek the ruin of the kingdom. May Jesus have mercy on us all.

Please pray the Stations of the Cross daily to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us and to encourage us to do the same for others. Abortion is a national tragedy and will not end without the intercession of Jesus and Mary.

Please pray that we help the New Evangelism and reach 3 million who will be devoted to these prayers, with the intercession of Mary and Jesus this can actively change our world for the better!

   This morning as I write this I am reminded of Jesus forgiving those who crucified Him from the cross" Father forgive them, for they know do not know what they do." Luke 23:34. Will we need to be as forgiving, the answer is yes. It is a choice and it is hard.
    There are days it is hard to forgive those who through their "freedom of choice" and "constitutional right" have ended the lives of over 50 million Americans, who have destroyed our economy, who have called good - evil and evil - good, who have turned our country from being the richest and most productive in the world to being in debt to everyone else in the world. It is hard to see the government sworn to uphold and defend the constitution not defend the citizens who can not defend themselves, it is just plain a hard choice to deal with.
     Yet, here we see Jesus forgiving those who killed Him.That was His will and His choice. Subjecting ourselves to His will is not always easy. It is His will that we forgive, it is in the Our Father..."forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" I must remember it is not people who are the enemy all of this evil has a source the devil and that thing  is the source of all evil. Jesus wants to save all souls, that is why He came and died. Praying for the salvation of the souls of those who are against Him is what we can do to help redeem those who are lost. St. Faustina understood this. With God's help maybe I can too. Remember to go to mass this week and forgive those in your life who need it. All of God's best to you and yours, Todd
