For What It's Worth by Erin

Are we living in a dream? This has been said by more than one parishioner friend that I have spoken with. If it’s a dream, it’s a BAD one! Kidding aside, we are living in unbelievable times. We’re not alone in what we are sensing.

Last weekend, thousands of Christians gathered in Washington D.C. and literally millions more watched by simulcast. Sensing the need for God’s intervention and help, the faithful gathered to ask God’s forgiveness for all the ways that we have turned our back on God. Have acted in ungodly ways. We have a lot to be sorry about personally and collectively. The goal? To get God’s attention. To turn His head in our direction and to repent so He hears our cries for help.

A lot is at stake this fall. Should America fall into chaos, the rest of the world will fall with it. With the riots and violence and division in our nation, we need God to intervene in a big way. First, turn to Mary, God’s mother and ours, asking her to intercede for us. EWTN has a Novena to the Mother of God for the Nation. I have a copy of the e-Book if you want it.

I know groups that are praying a daily rosary for this intention, and I have seen other prayer groups online doing the same. What else to do? Pray and Fast! Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. May God hear our prayers and answer us! Mother Mary pray for us. Amen +
