"We're all Catholics now."

Indeed.

In the end, we're all Christians. We always were. It is past time for Protestants, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and Copts to stand together. The Western churches have ignored and excused the brutalization of Eastern Christians for too long. It must end NOW (which is why I believe Benedict quoted an Eastern emperor - and elegant way to make that point considering past enmity between RC and Orthodox).

We must stand united with all the Infidel faiths, actually. Jew, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, or Sikh. We are all Infidel in the eyes of Islam. We're all on the same side in this war. We all will share the same fate if we do not.

Dear Pope Benedict: Please continue speaking the truth in love. The world needs your courage and your witness.

"Dear Pope Benedict: Please continue speaking the truth in love."

Christianity: the truth shall set you free.

Islam: lie to expand our empire!

Manual II was right.

Prayer to Christ the King

O Jesus Christ,
I acknowledge Thee as universal King.
All that has been made,
has been created for Thee.
Exercise all Thy rights over me.
I renew my baptismal vows,
renouncing Satan, his pomps and his works;
and I promise to live as a good Christian.
In particular do I pledge myself to labor,
to the best of my ability,
for the triumph of the rights of God and Thy Church.

Divine Heart of Jesus,
to Thee do I proffer my poor services,
laboring that all hearts may acknowledge Thy Sacred Kingship,
and that thus the reign of Thy peace
be established throughout the whole universe.

Amen.

ACT OF CONSECRATION OF THE HUMAN RACE TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Most sweet Jesus,
Redeemer of the human race,
look down upon us,
humbly prostrate before Thine altar.

We are Thine and Thine we wish to be;
but to be more surely united with Thee,
behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today
to Thy Most Sacred Heart.

Many, indeed, have never known Thee;
many, too, despising Thy precepts,
have rejected Thee.

Have mercy on them all,
most merciful Jesus,
and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart.

Be Thou King, O Lord,
not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee,
but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee,
grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house,
lest they die of wretchedness and hunger.

Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions,
or whom discord keeps aloof
and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith,
so that soon there may be but one flock and one shepherd.

Be Thou King of all those who even now sit in the shadow of idolatry or Islam,
and refuse not Thou to bring them into the light of Thy kingdom.
Look, finally, with eyes of pity upon the children of that race,
which was for so long a time Thy chosen people;
and let Thy Blood, which was once invoked upon them in vengeance,
now descend upon them also in a cleansing flood of redemption and eternal life.

Grant, O Lord,
to Thy Church,
assurance of freedom and immunity from harm;
give peace and order to all nations,
and make the earth resound
from pole to pole with one cry:
Praise to the Divine Heart
that wrought our salvation:
to it be glory
and honor forever.

Amen

I've been praying for the protection of St. Michael the Archangel too. My last couple of Rosary intentions have been for the safety and protection of our Pope.

Thanks for this post.

Let's all pray for Pope Benedict XVI. He must be relying on our prayers at this time.

Thanks for the ping, Salvation.

Heavenly Father, we pray for our dear brother in Christ, Josef Ratzinger, Pope Benedict. Give him comfort, peace, and rest. Protect him from those who wish to cause him harm with their words and actions. God bless all who pray for him.

Thank you for starting this thread--I've been thinking about this all day. I also think we need to pray for special protection of our catholic schools and parishes. I've been very uneasy about the next week.
