It has never been so clear as it is today, that the devil is working double-time to destroy everything in his path. He is strong and powerful, because Christ allows him to be. We, however, have a stronger opponent in Christ Jesus, BUT we need to call upon Him.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta wrote my husband years ago (link), and suggested he read Fr. John A. Hardon's work for answers regarding the Catholic Church. Since I take nothing Mother Teresa says lightly, I searched out Fr. Hardon, and in 1996 (he's since passed away), he had the answer to ending abortion, but 14 years later it still exists. Could it be that people in general do not listen to great Catholics (Blessed Mother Teresa is on her way to sainthood!) until their heads are literally in their laps?

My daughter told me when she was only 4 years old (she's 19 now), "If you listened harder to what Jesus is trying to tell you, you'd feel better." She has no recollection of saying those words. We have no doubts they came straight from heaven, through her, to me. I've been trying to "listen harder" ever since. Here's Father John A. Hardon on abortion:
"Let me repeat in the clearest words in my disposal. I would restate our thesis in two propositions. Proposition #1 There is no stopping abortion without an ocean of grace from Jesus Christ. No way will human means stop abortion. #2 The principle source of this grace is the Holy Eucharist." [emphasis; mine] Fr. Hardon also puts great emphasis on Reconciliation at the link ...
Pray to kill the bill/save the babies

Daily Mass is available at most parishes.

Without doubt. It is a gift of the spirit, and known as "a word of wisdom." They just pop out of people's mouths when they are needed.

What a beautiful post - thank you! What a treasure to have that letter from Mother Theresa. She is one of my favorites.
