Indifference

When Jesus came to Golgotha they hanged Him on a tree,
They drave great nails through hands and feet, and made a Calvary;
They crowned Him with a crown of thorns, red were His wounds and deep,
For those were crude and cruel days, and human flesh was cheap.

When Jesus came to Birmingham they simply passed Him by,
They never hurt a hair of Him, they only let Him die;
For men had grown more tender, and they would not give Him pain,
They only just passed down the street, and left Him in the rain.

Still Jesus cried, “Forgive them, for they know not what they do,”
And still it rained the wintry rain that drenched Him through and through;
The crowds went home and left the streets without a soul to see,
And Jesus crouched against a wall and cried for Calvary.

Satan’s 2-for-1 Deal

Yesterday I had the pleasure of listening to Monsignor Phillilp Rielly speak about his success in sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics. Monsignor Rielly is founder of the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants and his peaceful prayerful methods have closed some 22 abortion clinics.

One of the things his said struck me yesterday as something we often forget. You see, Monsignor Reilly will not approach a person until AFTER they come out of the clinic. He says as they go in, they really don’t care what you have to say, but after they come out, they have no qualms about speaking to a sidewalk counselor. When we claim to be pro-life he says, we must be pro-life for all eternity. Look at this way. If a woman has an abortion, the baby’s soul will go to heaven. Although the baby has undergone a great physical evil, it has committed no moral evil and will go straight to our Heavenly Father. On the other hand, the baby’s mother, father, and whoever else had a hand in the death of the child have not only committed a great physical evil but also a great moral evil. Satan will sacrifice the soul of the child for the souls of the two parents for after an abortion, those souls are his!

This is why post abortion counseling is so crucial. Yes, we must PRAY PRAY PRAY for the life of the child. But we must not forget the souls lost after that henious act. We must also pray and welcome the healing of the child’s parents (grandparents, etc.).

Monsignor Rielly reminded us that Jesus had to die for people to believe. And so, may the parents of God’s precious infants come to believe in the mercy and healing of our Lord.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for us!
