It's going to come to a point for America where we will all be praying the Rosary to save our country. Count on it.

 
Pray the Rosary. 
Pray without ceasing.

>>And don’t skip the book of Luke!<<

Oh, I do. It’s interesting the things we find there. Why, in the very first chapter we find that Catholics have lied about Mary. Let’s take a look.

Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. Now, if Mary had been sinless her whole life one would think that not only she but those around her would have known. Yet she was “troubled” by what the angel told her. Surely if she had been sinless since birth she would have had no problem with what the angel said.

Then in chapter 2 we find that Joseph and Mary had to travel and that there where Shepherds out with their sheep.

Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

Now, anyone with any sense knows that the weather in that part of the world is not the time for travel or that Shepherds take their flocks out into the fields at that time of year. Bethlehem and Jerusalem are up in the Judean hills where it snows. The shepherds have taken their flocks out of the hills and fields by that time and the near freezing temperatures would not be the time that people would have been asked to travel to Bethlehem. Makes one wonder why the RCC set December 25th, the purported birth day of Attis, the son of the virgin Nana doesn’t it. Another RCC incorporation of pagan dogma and practices.

You are right. There is much we can learn from reading Luke.
