Pray for Marriages (Continuing the Fight)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,


“The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about marriage and family…”  Sr. Lucia, Fatima Visionary


Is there any doubt we are in the final battle? Change has been slow and steady. At the time, the changes appeared to us as “welcome progress” and/or allowances. Maybe for thee and not for me. Birth control led to the sexual revolution, no fault divorce, women entering the workforce, an overturning of the God’s hierarchical  structure of the family, children raised by nannies and daycares, abortions, civil marriages, marriage being “redefined”, and so on and so on. We all bought into the “lie”. 


And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.  

2 Corinthians 11:14


He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44


Who grasped what the totality of those changes could bring? As marriage and family go, so goes society.  Without strong marriages and intact families, children are less likely to learn about God, develop well-formed  consciences. And if they are not formed, how will they ever make moral choices? And in that vacuum, how easy it is for other “powers” to indoctrinate them!


What we are experiencing in our society is not pretty. However, YOU were chosen by God for a time such as this! You were chosen to be a warrior of prayer to fight for marriage and family! You are part of God’s army! Your prayers matter!


Lord, help us to sustain not only each other, but our world and religious leaders who will be fighting for Good. May we remain strong as we face potential war, famine, economic collapse, and persecution..  May our charity and mercy never waver. Help us continue to fight for the preservation of marriage and family. 


Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.  Matthew 5:16


We know who will have the final victory. While Satan is gloating about what he thinks is his impending victory, Sr. Lucia finishes with the end of the story,  “...nevertheless, Our Lady has already crushed his head.”


Pray 🗡 Pray  🗡 Pray  🗡!  


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet


No army is ever too big. Invite someone to be a warrior for Christ and pass it on!
