That is a challenging task. It is very hard to really put into action the words of the Apostle,

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them…Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

St. Paul, Letter to the Romans, 12:14,17-21

Of course, it is a whole lot easier when we remember that we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph 6:12)

But that still doesn't make it easy.

Exactly, Mark. We are fighting with powers in the spiritual realm. This lady is not experiencing cognitive dissonance. She is experiencing the blindness that comes when one repeatedly dismisses the voice of the Holy Spirit. At some point, the person is no longer reachable. Only God knows that point.

O Dear God,
I pray that you make Sister Pelosi face lifts go awry
That her breasts sag down to her knees
that her buttocks get so wide that she cannot walk down the halls of Congress
That her tongue may shrivel so that she may not further impart such leftist drivel
Oh God open Sister Pelosi’s ears, that she may hear some wisdom that comes from Americans who are concerned where this counntry is heading.
Open up her eyes so that she may see the road that the Obamabots are leading us down.
Oh God, are you capable of such a miracle!

God got Paul's attention, and he can get hers too. Yes, He is THAT mighty. I will pray for anyone who is two heartbeats away from the presidency.

If her priest, bishop, and pope cared anything about her eternal soul, they ought to excommunicate her forthwith. To not do so allows her to continue in her blindness and so, also, by her example to help harden others in their blindness and lead still others into such blindness.

This is public and obvious defiance of clear divine, moral law. But she will never be able to see it without it being brought to her attention in the appropriate and scriptural way. Excommunication is for the purpose of leading to repentance.

If Nancy Pelosi is nominally still a Catholic, then she should take some time out and quietly contemplate the Second Decade of the Joyful Mysteries. It will give her a wealth of information on the evils of abortion.

Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Yes, I’m sure Jesus would approve of prenatal infanticide as well as taking money and property by threat of force to give to others.

She must be confusing Anton Le Vey’s Satanic Bible with God’s Bible.

Dear Lord, it is very obvious that Nancy Pelosi is way over her head serving as Senate Majority Leader. She’s stressed out and cracking up. Please Lord, remove her from office so that she can have some peace.

St. John Cantius
But that still doesn't make it easy.
Mark, it actually IS easy. In fact, nothing could be easier, especially for a Catholic! Christ is not a wimp; He is a hero, and has already attested to the fact that the faith the size of a mustard seed can move a mountain (Matt 17:20). Nancy Pelosi seems a perpetual cheerleader, wanting to "lead" the nation with hurrahs; can you not (as a Catholic) also "hear" her cries for help? A prayer for Nancy Pelosi, is a prayer for the United States. A prayer for Nancy Pelosi, constitutes *real* belief in Christ.

Praying for your enemies is one of the hardest things to do. My priest suggested that I put someone’s name (she had scandalized me by telling lies) on the back of a holy picture. Then every time I walked past it — I could say a prayer. Subconciously it got so that the prayer was for that person even though I was touching the picture of Christ or the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Not easy — but doable. I no longer have ill feelings for that person and can be congenial to her.

Evening Prayer
Someone has said that if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.
Did you know that during WWII there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace?  


There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (7:00 PM Mountain) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation. If you know anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this along. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.    Please forward this to your praying friends.
