Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Today, the reversal of the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision is unbelievably a reality. While it returns control to the states, God still wins on this Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
Mother Teresa said it best, “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.”
Is that not the ideology that we continue to observe everywhere we look regarding this issue? People using violence (emotional, physical, mental) to get what they want? We need to get to the heart of the matter and show people what and who Love is. Love alone changes hearts, especially when its recipients are undeserving. We must witness to the unconditional love of Christ, drawing our strength from His Sacred Heart. We need to speak the truth to family and the misguided, even when it’s hard. We need to teach love by our example. We must show that each life has value. If not, what makes any child, teen, or adult think their life matters?? How can they not falsely believe that unwanted=not valued=might as well not live?
Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor. Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Romans 12:9-12
Lord, we pray for the gifts needed to speak the truth, find clarity, increase in strength, and become bold in speech. We are weak; please make us strong. We are timid; give us confidence to speak the truth in love and be open to dialogue. Most importantly, help us to carry your Love in our hearts, and generously share it, especially with those who most need it, those who don’t yet know You. Keep us steadfast in prayer!
The end of all things is at hand. Therefore, be serious and sober for prayers. Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:7-11
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Share a little love and pass it on!
