Make America Holy Again!

Dear Family,

Please, please, please consider joining us every Thursday, now until October 7, 6-7pm at St. Mary of Pine Bluff for a Holy Hour of Adoration to pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the USA! The Sacrament of Confession will be available.

More information can be found at healourlandholyhour.com

These will be followed by “family fellowship” on the church lawn at what we are calling “Gracie’s Café.” You are encouraged to bring a dish to pass.

If you cannot physically be present, please pray with us from wherever you are. These “Heal Our Land Holy Hours” will be live-streamed at healourlandholyhour/live-stream.com

Your Shepherd (me) is begging you all to make these “Hour of Power” Thursday Holy Hours a high priority as we joyfully work hard to grow in our supernatural strength and Christian unity.

I believe God will richly bless all of those who join in this historic call for a Holy Spirit revival in our land. Come and get blessed and filled with the Holy Spirit!

I love you with all my heart!

Fr. Rick

P.S. If you are dismissing these Thursday evenings to join together and pray for our country, please read (below) why you may have been conditioned/trained to do so. PLEASE JOIN US!!

Understanding the Enemy

Recon (reconnaissance) is a military term used to determine the enemy force’s disposition and intention, gathering information (or intelligence) about an enemy’s composition and capabilities. Dr. Peter Kreeft wrote: “You cannot win a war if you are unwilling to admit we are even at war or you don’t know who your enemy is or you don’t know what strategy your enemy is using.”

We have all witnessed how the dry wind of the enemy’s militant secular propaganda campaign has hardened the hearts of so many of our family members, friends, and neighbors. Spiritually speaking, many have crossed into the dry and lifeless valley of the dry bones prophesied in Ezekiel 37. Dead in their sins, with the rigor mortis of indifference hardening their hearts, they are without the breath of the Spirit, destined for eternal damnation, unless some campaign of search and rescue is launched.

So why has the devil been so effective? What is his strategy? To better understand the tactics of the devil, it is important to understand his names: “diabolos” means “he who places division or separation,” and “daio,” the root of “demon,” means “to divide.” These names identify the two great tactical campaigns the enemy has deployed, especially in recent decades: 1) Cut us off from our (supernatural) supply lines and 2) Divide and conquer.

Conquering Lukewarmness

In the Book of Revelation, we see the Lord has some rather severe words about the lukewarm: “I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth” (Revelation 3:16). Pope St. Pius V went so far as to say,“All the evil in the world is due to lukewarm Catholics.” Pope St. Pius X showed no less disdain with, “All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the easygoing weakness of Catholics.”

You can go ahead and give your own diagnosis as to the spiritual disease that has inflicted our Church and, therefore, our world, but I am going with the Book of Revelation and these two holy popes. I’ll add this from Ronald Reagan: “We maintain the peace through our strength; weakness only invites aggression.”

We are spiritual lukewarm; we are WEAK! Evil knows this and has decided “this is their time.” This is their time to move in and take control, and they have!!

From this position of weakness, a radical secular religion has emerged. And, this radical secular religion has never been more aggressive. In the midst of this historic level of indoctrination, any threat to the radical secular dogma is receiving censorship and punishment.

It’s Time to Fight Back! – It’s Time to Get Supernaturally Strong!

Conquering Division 

Satan knows we are easier to defeat if we are divided. His minions have spent the past 15 months keeping us “distanced” from Our Lord and each other. They have used every weapon they could find, including stoking fear, quarantines, masking, stoking racial division, virtue signaling, censorship, gas-lighting, etc., etc., etc. You name it, they used it.

Our strength is in our UNITY!! And, that’s what these Thursday “Heal Our Land Holy Hours” are seeking to accomplish. It’s time COME TOGETHER and to be a FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH!!

At this writing, today’s Gospel saw Jesus Christ praying that we may be one ..

I have given them the glory you gave me,
so that they may be one, as we are one,
I in them and you in me,
that they may be brought to perfection as one,
that the world may know that you sent me,
and that you loved them even as you loved me.
Father, they are your gift to me.

Evil is Powerless if the Good are Unafraid

I’m a fighter, and I pray you are too!! President Ronald Reagan put it best …

Do you and I have the courage to say there is a price we will not pay, there is a point beyond which evil must not advance?

 

Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.

 

Well, you and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness. We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. And it’s been said, if we lose this war, and in so doing, lose this great way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those that had the most to lose did the least to prevent it from happening. Well, I think it’s high time now that we ask ourselves if we still even know the freedoms that were intended for us by our founding fathers. Every generation of Americans needs to know that freedom exists, not to do what you like, but having the right to do what you ought, and that is the freedom that I wish for you. Set yourselves apart from this corrupt generation. Be Saints. You weren’t made to fit in, you were born to stand out.

 

Let’s Get Strong & United and Let’s 

MAKE AMERICA HOLY AGAIN!
