Brothers and sisters: If God is for us, who can be against us? What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will angusih, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? As it is written: For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as a sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us (Romans 8:31, 35-37).
What else can I say to these profound words by St. Paul? They are so true even with us until now with a new kind of paganism hostile to the official teachings of the Church as they prefer to worship self in their body and in their thoughts, overextending their rights, redefining even gender and other natural institutions, glorifying wealth and fame, protecting animal rights and environment without any regard for persons especially in their weakest stages in the womb and old age... the list goes on, Lord but what's most sad, even tragic the attacks and hostilities are not really from unbelievers but from those who claim to be Christians and Catholics.
Keep us strong and faithful, Lord Jesus, never let us separate from you; fill us with courage too to remain steadfast in your ways and teachings, to speak the truth, to protect fellow believers and defenders of faith and most of all, to keep loving your beloved Body, the Church. Amen.
