Saturday, December 8, 2017
I am a poser (the word Bear Woznick used to described men who try to pretend to be something there not). I feel like that anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been called a Catholic zealot. But I don’t think I am. Not after hearing the story of Mary Wagner yesterday. Now she is a real Christian.
Hearing about Mary Wagner reminds me of a quote: “If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world ablaze!” -St. Catherine of Sienna
So why isn’t the world ablaze?
If just 100 good church going Catholic men and women went out today, Saturday, December 9, 2017, and sat down in the waiting rooms of abortion death mills all over the United States and offered the women there a red rose and told them there was an alternative to killing there child? What would happen? Could we find 100 people in all the parishes in the country to do this?
What about 1000?
Let’s really stretch that, 10,000 good Catholics. What would happen? Do you think this would get the attention of the national media? Who cares about that, would it save any children?
I am as guilty, myself, for thinking that “someone else will do this.” Lots of other people are involved in the pro life movement, right? They don’t need me, what can I do anyway? Well, if we as Catholics are going to take our faith seriously, and live our faith, why don’t we stand up for the unborn?
There are 17,651 Catholic parishes in the United States in 196 geographical dioceses. What if just one person from each parish was arrested today for witnessing the Gospel at an abortion clinic. What would happen, if every Saturday, in 2018, one person for every parish in the United States was arrested at an abortion facility? What would that say to our culture of death?
Here I am, sitting an writing this today. Let’s put words into action, will you meet me next week at the local abortion clinic and pray the rosary for the women, unborn children, and staff of the clinic?
Let’s set the world ablaze!
