If my house burns down and I am penniless and hungry, I can accept that as being part of God’s will for my life, and thank Him for helping me through it. I can try to glorify Him by the way I handle these sorrows and sufferings.
But if my son becomes a drug addict and stabs me to death, I can’t consider that either of those events are God’s will! If a madman butchers millions of people, that’s not God at work—God is not capable of evil. Some things that happen on this earth are not God’s will—they are the actions of Satan. We are told that Satan prowls the world causing pain and harm, and seeking the ruin of souls, and some bad things that happen are his doing.
If americans reelect Obama I do not considre it Gods will.. God has turned his back on america just as he did to the Israelites when they broke his covenant. America must re-earn Gods love.
In a nation that promotes the murder of 50 million babies in the womb making Hitler look like an amateur there can be no grace from God.

I am so upset about what has happened to this beloved country. I read various Catholic bloggers counseling about the need to set not our trust in princes and seek the kingdom not of this world of which Our Lord spoke to Pilate. However, I still just feel so bitter, particularly that a majority of Americans apparently want the course of moral and economic suicide we are on. I know that I will eventually reach a place of serenity and trust in God and learn not to care about US politics, but I’m not quite there yet. Feeling very Eeyore-ish today.
We don’t earn God’s love. He loves us even as sinners. He waits for us to repent.
That’s understandable. The first evening I had gone to a Bible study expecting to come home to a Romney win. What a downer I came home to instead.
I do think there was fraud in certain states — and they will become a felon if it can be proven.
Until then — someone wrote — isn’t it always when there is no where else to turn that we turn to God?
America is just about there.
Another two things that need to happen from my reading:
1. Two non-denominational churches/chapels need to be erected in place of the twin towers or NY will be hit again — Matia Espinoza of South American who foresaw the twin towers coming down.
2. Our Lady of America asked that an alcove altar be dedicated to her in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception — then as a result her protection will surround America (U. S.) — the Bishops have not yet done it.
Oops

Have you read The Harbinger? (about 9-11)
Absolutely correct. People pine over whether or not they are in God's will. Well, if they're Christians, God will make sure they are in His will. His rod and His staff, they guide us.
But after this election perhaps we should all reflect on the following:
And the poor in spirit will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven! That makes it bearable - He is always good and faithful, even when we're not...
He must surely be opening one heck of a door as He watches us despair over the seeming closing of the door that used to be America. Israel's continuing existence, despite everything stacking up against her will strengthen my faith.
How true. This writing comes at a very important and difficult time for those of us who were hoping for a Romney win.
God is going to watch over and protect Israel as America has turn its back on the Holy Land.
I did read somewhere that the Greek Orthodox chapel that was destroyed on 9/11/01 will be rebuilt from I had read I believed late last year.
Also was the visions that you brought up ever approved at all? Thank-you. :)
Yep - and just as surely as Jesus had to die to fulfill the New Covenant, Israel must bear the brunt of the attacks as the Evil One's forces try to destroy her before He comes to set things right. It may not feel like it for many of us, but His plan is moving forward and it will not be thwarted...
I think they are being studied since she was the only one who foretold 9-11.
You can read about her in the book, “The Harbinger.”
I stand corrected. The country needs to repent.. until then Gods back is turned.
