Adding a prayer, Father, for successful forward motion to Your greater glory arising from our excellent Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s talks today with his Vatican counterpart Parolin, centered on a plea for greater Vatican support of persecuted Chinese Christians and Catholics, and many other religious subgroups in China. Asking in Jesus’ name, amen.
“Those of us who have been given the gift of Christian faith have an obligation to do our best to bless others. For all the U.S. can do, we are constrained by the demands of world politics. The Church is in a different position," Pompeo pointed out. "Earthly considerations shouldn't discourage principled stances based on eternal truths.”
