Exactly, Bobby. "Put not your trust in princes" Trump cannot save America. If God means to use him in some way to set a different course for America then we will see a miracle occur. Because it will take a miracle of grace. What saddens me is to see America slide into a banana republic. We avoided it for 250 years but we are there now. And those who have perpetrated this horror will be caught in the same trap. Thats how it works. Hatred this deep and intense has a way of coming back around. I keep thinking of the play Agamemnon --an ancient Greek tragedy about revenge. One verse from the chorus sticks in my mind: One chamber of the human heart Holds pride and strength within The other a dark sick animal And the wall between is thin. Revenge never ends well. The ancients knew it. The Bible shows it repeatedly. Jesus warned us. All these souls including Trump are very likely in peril. If no one prays for them.
You said it so well! So called “leaders” on all sides (including those not in politics) are not where we should place our trust. They are supposed to be there to serve the people. And because the Founding Fathers knew well that people are weak and will mess up they created a Republic with checks and balances. What I’m most upset about today is not Trump per se, but that the process of government and this Republic has been hijacked and I fear corrupted beyond repair. And I agree that only prayer and divine intervention can now save it.
This is exactly it. I get the sense that there has been a lot of hope in Trump because he said a lot of the right things. There is this narrative that Biden is bad and Trump is good. So a blind eye has been turned towards Trump by many. But our Lady has been telling us for over a century that humanity is on the way to chastisement unless we repent collectively. I did not see much in the way of positive change during Trump's time as president, which for me is another indicator that humanity has not repented. Our Lady told us in Medjugorje last February that darnel has seized many hearts. It was the first time in Medjugorje that she had referred to darnel. It is only out of love in the heart that goodness comes into the world. Which is why she constantly tells us to keep love in our hearts. The battle is spiritual. Jesus tells us that we are His mothers and brothers when we follow the Father's commandments. The parable of the sower is literally how the world functions. The best way for positive change to come into the world isn't by voting, protesting and such. But rather by turning to God in everything with a loving heart. By this, Love comes into the world and has an effect on everything even if we do not see it directly.
A good summary, orangina! I keep coming back to the example of courageous clerics like your Cardinal Stepinac and also Cardinal József Mindszenty of Hungary who was martyred in the 1950s, I believe. Give me courage, Lord!
Agree, Trump cannot save this country. I think the one thing that is on the mind of every American is the complete breakdown of the judicial system in our country. What took place in that courtroom goes far beyond any crimes committed by Trump. The trial was a shameful fiasco that belonged in a communist country. We have plenty to fear. Now that the judicial system has been weaponized against Americans, political persecution will be the consequence of anyone who dares to challenge the evil Biden regime. May 30, 2024 will go down in history as the day that Americans lost faith in "liberty, and justice for all". It will take a new revolution, under God, for the United States of America to rise from the ashes.
BTW if you want a good laugh just Google Ann Barnhart memes. A whole slew of them come up and they very very very funny!
We have seen the government's outrageous treatment of pro-life activists being charged under RICO statues and sentenced to 11 years in jail for nonviolently blocking entrances to abortion mills while virtually no arrests have been made on over 100 acts of arson and defacement occurring at pro-life facilities. Double standards are certainly in vogue! Lord have Mercy
