I had a conversation with the Lord today before the Blessed Sacrament. I expressed to Him my concerns that if Obama wins this election, not only will the gains made in fighting for our defenseless brothers and sisters be wiped out, those Christians who believe they can be pro-choice while being personally opposed to abortion will somehow feel vindicated.
After all, I know that no one rises to power but that God has allowed it. I think many pro-choice Christians probably feel the same way.
So, if this is true, then an Obama election is either chastisement or vindication. Now, this thought then caused me to ask Our Lord, “If Obama is elected, then how will all those who are being deceived learn the truth? Won’t an Obama presidency sink them further into the bowels of this evil?
I am concerned for those in my own family who risk their eternal soul for the lie that if one is committed to “social justice” one is somehow excused for their stance on the slaughter of innocents.
I then asked Our Lord, “Why if Obama is our punishment have so many bishops, cardinals and priests suddenly found their voices in this fight? Why was Sarah Palin placed in this position? A woman who is the epitomizes the pro-life life?
A woman whose influence over the culture of this country could be so profoundly felt, if she were to be one of our leaders.
I take heart in the hope stirred up by the words of Cardinal Egan and others. I have no prediction for the future. This race could go either way. But, either way, the Lord’s will be done.
“Why was Sarah Palin placed in this position? A woman who is the epitomizes the pro-life life? A woman whose influence over the culture of this country could be so profoundly felt, if she were to be one of our leaders”.
I had the same thoughts.
I agree “either way, the Lord’s will be done”.
