24 Feb Isaiah 58:2 (Fighting for a Wounded Nation)
Rosemary’s Reflections: How wonderful would it be to say that nation was ours? That people from California to the Carolina’s, from Minnesota to Mississippi, would all open their hearts to our Lord. Right now our nation is under some serious spiritual warfare, whether or not the media believes it or not. The souls caught in the crossfire need a haven. We need to let them know they can find shelter in God’s arms. We are ambassadors for Christ, soldiers carrying our crosses with honor. We will be targeted for our beliefs. We will be tempted and ridiculed. But we need to stand firm with our faith, so we can help heal our nation one wounded soul at a time.

Faith Quote: “The evil spirits, because of their pride, anger, and envy, will attempt to turn your gaze away from God through either temptations or harassments. They seek to surround you with their temptations and harassments so that every thought and action you engage in might be in opposition to what the Lord desires for you.” ~ St. Padre Pio
Through Christ Our Lord,

2 Tim 4:7
* Pray/Fast: Prayer connects us with God’s will & His miracles, changing us & helping others. Fast from things that take your eyes off Jesus. Those who pray together stay together, and close to God!
* Save Unborn (& family): Abortion reality (images)…#1 death cause (22% pregnancies). Prov 24:11 & Jer 1:5. “A great poverty that a child must die that you might live as you wish.” Mother Teresa.
* Evangelize: Make room for unbelievers & re-evangelization of self, by way of prayer (relationship) and following Christ’s example of love (service/sacrifice/mercy). Mt 28:19.
