Agreed. And I think that we need to pray for a Great Awakening that will surge through all the churches, Catholic and Protestant, Mainline and Evangelical.

It has happened numerous times in the past. And it does sometimes surge from one church into another. The revival led by John Wesley not only awakened the Methodists, but also swept through the Church of England, which had virtually died in the 18th century.

But it is certainly true that only God can bring about such a revival. And without one, it is very hard to see how our country can recover its moral values.

And within a century it had become tame, mainstream, and so incluturated that it needed to be reawakened by the Salvation Army movement.

Amen Cicero. Let’s get another to join us in prayer. Where two or three are gathered in His name...
