SAINT THOMAS MORE

PATRON SAINT OF POLITICIANS & LEADERS & LAWYERS

SAINT THOMAS MORE

Please pray for the

Supreme Court of the United States

and politicians, especially the ones who claim to be Catholic

but uphold abortion !

"On his execution, he was reported to have said: 'I die the King's good servant, and God's first'... Pope Pius XI canonized More in 1935 as a martyr. Pope John Paul II in 2000 declared him the patron saint of statesmen and politicians." WIKIPEDIA

Love, Jeanne

.... Lucia's Lament

In 1961 Sister Lucia of Fatima grieved to Father Augustin Fuentes who was visiting her, "Father, our Lady is very unhappy because they have not taken Her message of 1917 seriously. NEITHER THE GOOD NOR THE BAD HAVE PAID ANY ATTENTION TO IT. The good continue their way without preoccupying themselves with it, they do not heed her celestial requests. The bad walk through life swollen with perdition, not taking into account the punishment that threatens them. Believe me, Father, God will chastise the world very soon. THINK, FATHER, ABOUT ALL THE SOULS WHO WILL FALL INTO HELL. This will happen because no one prays, because they do not do penance."

[Sister Lucia of Fatima to Father Augustin Fuentes in 1961.]

"What is the purpose of all this talk of Hell in Lucia's message, to frighten us? No! It is assumed that a majority of this book's [and this blog's cj] readers are adult Christians of sound faith who are in the state of grace. THE PURPOSE IS TO EMPHASIZE MARY'S CALL FOR PRAYER, SACRIFICE, & PENANCE IN ORDER TO SAVE THE SOULS OF OTHERS.

"But there is a downside to personal refusal of this 'call.' IN OUR CHARITY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THIS CALL FOR PRAYER, SACRIFICE, & PENANCE FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS.

"If we do not, is there a possibility that sometime in the future we might need such spiritual assistance from others - perhaps to withstand some great temptation of our own, (despair, pride, loss of faith, etc.) and that when we need help we shall receive as we gave? 'Let him who stands, beware lest he fall.' Let us charitably respond to Mary's call." [Desmond A. Birch ........... in his book, "Trial, Tribulation & Triumph"]
