Kyrie Eleison

Obama Changes

“I’ve said before that one of the great strengths of the United States is, although as I mentioned we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values,” said the president.”

Is THIS the change people voted for?

Do you think he delights in telling people that we are not a Christian nation? I do.

America is a Christian nation. The best parts of America come from that Christianity (read the Declaration of Independence or Gettysburg address for some examples). America is indeed at risk of losing her Christian status, but it is not yet gone. Of course, electing leaders like Obama (who still hasn’t found a Church to attend), moves us down that path. Do you think he considers himself “post-Christian” since he stopped regularly going to any Church?

Audax – I find it interesting that you should comment on America as someone who does not live here.

I also think you misunderstand what it means to be a Christian country. A Christian country is one that seeks to create a government guided by justice as understood by the Church. The people of such a society see themselves as Christian and that Christianity penetrates their life.

It does not mean that they make the right choices. It does not mean that all of their decisions are indeed just.

By these standards, America has been a Christian nation, but is in jeopardy of losing that. Not because of the Iraq war (you Europeans certainly do get obsessed), but because because we have
lost our moral compass and are descending into the moral relativism that holds Europe in its grips.

I hope you have a joyous Easter!

Prayer for our Priests

Lord Jesus, present in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and living perpetually among us through Your Priests, grant that the words of Your Priests may be only Your words, that their gestures be only Your gestures, and that their lives be a true reflection of Your life.

Grant that they may be men who speak to God on behalf of His people, and speak to His people of God. Grant that they be courageous in service, serving the Church as she asks to be served.

Grant that they may be men who witness to eternity in our time, travelling on the paths of history in Your steps, and doing good for all.

Grant that they may be faithful to their commitments, zealous in their vocation and mission, clear mirrors of their own identity, and living the joy of the gift they have received.

We pray that Your Holy Mother, Mary, present throughout Your life, may be ever present in the life of Your Priests.

Amen
