Dearly Beloved,<\/p>\n

Terrible things are happening in the Middle East and around the world to Christians. \u00a0The situation is so severe that it is difficult to express the proper outrage. \u00a0The plight of Catholics in Iraq is horrendous. \u00a0We are led to believe by the media and our leaders that the ouster and death of Sadam Hussein was good for that country and region, but this is not true! \u00a0Yes, he was a terrible man and did terrible things, but there was religious freedom and protection of all faiths in Iraq under his regime. \u00a0The United States has made a bad situation much, much worse by their lack of attention to detail in the setting up of the new powers in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Priests, nuns and believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are being tortured and martyred daily. \u00a0Babies are being slaughtered and eaten by these infidels, (and that is the only appropriate word for these forces of eveil.) \u00a0In Mozul, ALL Catholics and other Christians have been either murdered or made refugees. \u00a0The Vatican, finally(!) has started condemning this persecution, but actual help in the form of money needed for the refugees is late or non-existent. \u00a0There needs to be a clearing house where souls of goodwill- Americans in particular, can donate to help their brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n

I urge all of you to go to your priests and pastors and beg them to preach on the persecution of Christians in the world today! \u00a0We must face these terrible acts and counter with actual help, in the form not only of fervent prayer to the Almighty and Ever Living and Loving Lord Jesus Christ, but also with monetary assistance and physical help.<\/p>\n

We have become a nation that is compartmentalized; we don’t care as a group about what is really important. \u00a0We are more interested in our games and hypnotic entertainments than in the suffering around us.<\/p>\n

Because we have an all volunteer Armed Forces it is easy for us to forget that our warriors- those which buy our freedom for us with their blood, are doing things that they shouldn’t because of lack of numbers. \u00a0To send a soldier on more than two tours of duty is folly! \u00a0This was never allowed before in our history. \u00a0They forget themselves and commit atrocities in our names. \u00a0Because there is no draft, we as a nation can look the other way and we have no universal interest in the wars which we are waging. \u00a0We must bring back the draft and we must stop our young women from serving in combat. \u00a0Even the Israelis no longer have women in combat roles, for the atrocities committed against them by enemies when they were captured were unacceptable to them. \u00a0Good for the Israelis! \u00a0Also, they found that the men serving with them would stop to save them, thereby compromising the missions. \u00a0It is against nature to have women in combat! \u00a0The incidents of rape and pregnancies in uniform are through the roof! \u00a0This is a social experiment that has gone terribly wrong and we as a nation and the good women trying to serve their country are the ones that suffer because of this insanity! \u00a0Women should, of course be allowed to serve, but not in combat and not integrated with men on ships or on land. \u00a0THIS PRACTICE IS INSANE!, and we must all educate ourselves and stand up and speak the truth!<\/p>\n

Again, please ask your spiritual leaders what they are doing for the Persecuted Church and insist they preach on their plight. \u00a0We have a new apostolate, (ministry) for the Persecuted Church and all who suffer the terrible burden of torture. \u00a0It is: CATHOLICSAGAINSTTORTURE.ORG \u00a0Please go to this site and write in and ask for a free prayer card. \u00a0Please pray for the tortured!<\/p>\n

O God of justice, Love and mercy, look with pity upon our suffering brothers and sisters who are being persecuted for Thy Names’ sake. \u00a0Give them miracles of escape and help and open our hearts to the truth of life around us. \u00a0Help us to fulfill our calling as Christians and stand up for those who have no one to stand for them. \u00a0In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ we pray with Our Blessed Mother Mary and all the Angels and Saints in heaven. \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n
