Today at Mass, our priest was speaking of voting and said, "If you think it's not important to go vote, then go to the grave of a vet who died in a war and tell him that he was a fool to die for our country, since what we do to help our country doesn't really matter."
He also said since today is "Reformation Day," we should "go hug a Lutheran or maybe take them out to lunch." He also remembered that the first time we were allowed to play "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" at Mass, several of his priest friends walked out in protest.
Anyway, from a 33-year Missouri-Synod Lutheran (now a Catholic for 26 years), since it's already past lunchtime, I'm sending a big cyber-hug instead. God be with you and please
pray for some great and positive pro-life, pro-family, election returns.
I am not a Lutheran but I hold Martin Luther in great respect, it is always a trial to go against any authority ... I too am praying for pro life, pro family and pro religious freedom election .
