Such turmoil exists in the world today. The terrorist group ISIS has just beheaded 21 Coptic Christians and reportedly burned alive 45 people in Iraq.
May God take these murdered people straight to heaven.
We have been warned, indeed God has granted us such divine gifts of Mercy in this ever darkening time that it is almost overwhelming.
And still, so many people are turning away and buying into the deception that is drenching the earth with filth and sin.
It is a time of preparation, as Lent ever is, for the Resurrection of our Lord.
The Church, too, must go through its own Passion before it can experience its Resurrection.
I pray, Lord, that I will be a bright light for lost souls and that I can be a good Fisher of men and women for You during the coming time of persecution.
