Pope John So Goes the Family So Goes the Nation
Every bit the family unit goes, so goes the nation
Every bit the family goes,
so goes the nation.
This saying, spoken by a wise, ancient philosopher, has been passed down through the ages and is as relevant today equally ever information technology was.
Pope John Paul Ii in his homily delivered at the St. Louis Trans World Dome Papal Mass, January 27, 1999, said:
"As the new evangelization unfolds, it must include a special emphasis on the family and the renewal of Christian marriage. In their chief mission of communicating love to each other, of being co-creators with God of human life, and of transmitting the dear of God to their children, parents must know that they are fully supported by the Church building and by society. The new evangelization must bring a fuller appreciation of the family unit as the primary and most vital foundation of club, the first schoolhouse of social virtue and solidarity (cf. Familiaris Consortio, 42)."
Equally the family goes, so goes the nation! I can yet remember, in my Catholic grade school, nuns pedagogy history telling united states Rome fell because of moral degradation and French republic was undone by the breakdown of the family. I don't recall anything like that is taught today. And still it is then evident the pitiful road our state is taking with the breakdown of family values.
Guild tells us the solution for an unwanted pregnancy is abortion and for an unhappy wedlock divorce. In reality abortion and divorce are non solutions they are evils. Evils cloaked in glittery glamour and made to await fifty-fifty more than than adequate only sometimes even desirable. At that place are those who know the truth but they are the voiceless little ones snuffed out in their mothers wombs and the children of divorce. And in this busy age who has time to listen to children.
There is a vocalism speaking out loud and clear AMERICA WAKE Up!! Ruddy Alarm!! THE Earth IS IN DANGER!! That is the voice of John Paul Ii and we would all be wise to mind and human activity upon what he is telling us. But only like after the dire and dreadful fourth dimension of the crucifixion at that place was the glorious and uplifting resurrection, there is much more than that is positive about America than is negative. Namely millions of basically proficient people and it is they who can overcome the evils in our society if they just look to God for the answers.
If they listen to the words of John Paul II and resolve to act on them with a change of hearts and lifestyles. And then, most encouraging of all, are the many young parents waging a tremendous struggle raising their children with solid values in spite of the bad influences in today's culture.
Oh how I wish they could know how dear they are to our hearts. How very much they are appreciated for the wonderful gift they are giving every citizen of this nation.
Anyone reading this on the Cyberspace is nearly fortunate because they can go to our Papal Visit folio where our Web principal has translated some of the of import words the Holy Father spoke in Mexico plus a cute Prayer for Families. And they can visit the St. Louis web site Papal Visit and read every one of the Pope'due south words spoken while he was in the United states.
Through the ages women and children, unfortunately, accept fallen into the category of the powerless and insignificant. But the powerless and the insignificant of this earth take a special pipeline to God. And the greatest power of anyone to intercede, mediate or abet, God gave to a woman, His mother Mary.
Catholics understand this and sympathise Mary's role in salvation. They know Mary, equally a human, is just ane among many. Just Mary the woman chosen to be the Mother of God has great significance. She has been assigned the most important role in God's plan, to lead u.s. to Jesus.
All of my life I take seen what seemed impossible come nearly by prayer. I have witnessed what I would phone call mini miracles and what I would call major miracles occur when people prayed.
That is why prayer is the essential element in starting and maintaining this web site. Already we have seen the results prayer has brought about. A pocket-sized group of women in Los Angeles started praying for this web site when it seemed just an impossible dream on a distant horizon. And, as dramatic as the parting of the Red Sea, it happened.
Please pray with the states that the Catholic Women's Web site will fulfill God'south program for it. Pray especially through the Blessed Mother, asking the Father in the proper name of Jesus that our web site exist successful. I'll sign off now to go and pray the rosary, a most powerful weapon.
