>>No wonder we cry, Come Lord Jesus, Come.
No wonder! The magnitude of the evil is almost too much to absorb....how interconnected and global it is....and yet, has not the world since Adam, always been filled with the evildoers that enslave their fellow men?
Surely, it seems God is hearing the prayers of so many Christians who ask for His divine help in restoring our country to its Godly roots. I truly believe that He has selected DJT and plans to use him accordingly.
Doesn’t it seem like all of society’s problems stem from its distance from God? It is my prayer that DJT will play a major role in helping us as a People to grow closer to God, as those who came before us were.
Gee, I wish I could remember who and where I read that it was that was saying he thought TRUMP was coming along on faith issues. Could it have been Sessions? I dare not say, but I did just read something to that encouraging effect.
Reason tells me we are in for it. We read of centuries of great holocausts of God’s people, and the innocents. They prayed. They were lost. The Apostles certainly suffered torture and death. The Christians to the lions.
Hope it doesn’t sound stupid to you, but I am increasingly greatly understanding and respecting of why we Catholics pray for a happy death, “last rites”, etc. But, I’m older than you, I’m sure, so there’s that.
At any rate, my point is that all those generations prayed as do we today, for their lives, their children’s lives and their lands, and I have this feeling they were more innocent in the Early Church years, than we Christians in the West are, today. Is that too absurd? Anyway they didn’t make it out alive. I’m not sure we deserve to more than they.
We face all disaster knowing who our real Hope and only Savior is. I pray for God’s good purpose in TRUMP. He has something, TRUMP. I hope for him and for God’s sure guidance in him.

You make me recall the Scripture on “if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and repent, I will heal their land”. Jesus is speaking to His people, the people of God, a peculiar people, His children. He is speaking to the His Church. Not to the world, nor to secular inhabitants.
The Church has failed... utterly. This alone has brought the wrath. No wonder our Lord speaks of but a “remnant”.
We have few Shepherds, but mostly wolves. God be with us, dear FRiend.
Amen and Amen
