Greetings Prayer Warrior,
Wake up call of the week:
"In your nation, God is being eroded, eclipsed, liquidated."
-Cardinal
Robert Sarah at the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, DC
He continued to describe attacks on the family as “demonic”.
Satan is leading his growing army, but the Lord calls out to
each of us, his disciples.
Arise! Shine, for your light has come, the glory of the LORD has dawned upon you. Though darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds, the peoples, upon you the LORD will dawn, and over you his glory will be seen.
Isaiah 60:1-2
And do this because you know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed; the night is advanced, the day is at hand. Let us then throw off the works of darkness [and] put on the armor of light. Romans 13:11-12
When a family disintegrates, psychological wounds and scars
appear and the ability to love with an open heart becomes more difficult.
“The rupture of
the foundational relationship of someone’s life through separation, divorce or
distorted imposters of the family such as co-habitation or same-sex unions is a
deep wound that closes the heart to self-giving love into death, and even leads
to cynicism and despair. These situations cause damage to the little children
through inflicting upon them deep existential doubt about love…."This is
why the devil is so intent on destroying the family. If the family is
destroyed, we lose our God-given anthropological foundations, and so find it
more difficult to welcome the saving good news of Jesus Christ: self-giving,
fruitful love.”
-Cardinal Robert Sarah
The Lord can heal all wounds, but we must battle against the
lure of the devil calling us to foster hate, to move toward self-indulgence, or
fall into despair. Instead, each of us must be attentive to what the Lord is
calling us to do. He needs warriors to
arise, in voice, in prayer, in witness, and in action. What is he calling you to do? Begin by dropping to your knees in prayer,
seeking to know his will. He will call
to you, “Arise!”
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Pray ceaselessly for the darkness to flee and for His light to shine once again on the family. Pass it on!!
