IF SEXUAL IMMORALITY SEEMS TO BE TAKING OVER THE WORLD, REMEMBER -- GOD HAS ALREADY WON!

http://www.virtualholyrosary.com/theGloriousMysteries.html


Every now and then, if we listen carefully, God speaks to us while praying the Rosary.

Tonight I received a call from a mother who's daughter is pregnant out of wedlock.
Thus, as I was trying to meditate on the First Glorious Mystery, the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus, my mind wandered onto the sexual immorality so pervasive in today's society. 
So often it seems like the Church has lost  --  that immorality is being accepted and normalized around the world.  Marriage is continually under attack.  The making and consuming of pornography is a way of life for many.  The twin evils of contraception and abortion are even accepted by some church-going Catholics.
All seems lost ...

Then one considers The Resurrection.
All seemed lot.
Jesus was killed, suffering a torturous and humiliating death on a Roman cross.
Jesus, however, is God.
Although truly dead Jesus rose from death and walked this earth in His glorious and resurrected body until He ascended into heaven in that same body.
God still rules.

No matter how lost things seem to be God is still in control.
Our main role to play?
Personal holiness.  Pray and fight for what is right ... and never loose hope.

Dominus vobiscum,
- Reg

Abortion law in Canada: MP Postcards for Motion 312

Scientifically, human life begins at conception.  Some politicians are willing to stand up for this rather than only standing up for popular ideology.

The Sorrowful Mysteries. A brief meditation.

As I meditate on the Sorrowful Mysteries while praying the Holy Rosary this Lent, I have become increasingly aware of how each of my sins adds to Christ's suffering.
- I add to his agony in the garden as he struggles to accept our sins on His sinless Self.
- I add more lashes to his scourging at the pillar.
- I press yet another thorn into his Kingly head. (The mystery of the crowning with thorns actually embarrasses me. How could we mock our loving God in such a way??)
- My sins make the timber's weight all the heavier as our Lord struggles with it on the way to his torturous death.
- Finally, my sins cause ever greater agony as Love Itself hangs on the cross and finally gives up His spirit.
