Let us consider the condition of the United States of America through the eyes of God. Once a God-fearing nation, at least on the lips if not hearts of most people, the US has largely degraded into a hedonistic cabal of intellectually and spiritually stunted people. Yet a few embers of decency remain, as evidenced by the last presidential election.
Our Lord's promise, as stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14, state And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.
That promise is clear and unambiguous. So what do we do? Firstly, go to Mass today, even if that means skipping the fireworks. What better place to pray for our beleaguered nation? Besides, today is First Friday. Honor our Lord and His Sacred Heart, wounded for us, as individuals and nations.
