I have been praying a pro-life Rosary daily and will continue to do so until the elections are over. The following is the powerful reflection for the Second Glorious Mystery - The Ascension. It was written by a Daughter of St. Paul.
"After Christ's Ascension into heaven, angels reminded the amazed Apostles: "This Jesus...will return" (Acts 1:11).
In the Creed, we profess our faith thus: He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead."
Everyone will have already undergone his or her personal judgment; his or her eternal salvation or damnation will have been already determined. The universal judgment will be the manifestation of God's eternal justice. Then, Christ our Lord and King will invite all the just, 'Come. You have my Father's blessing! and to those on his left, 'Out of my sight, you condemned...' (Mt. 25:34-41).
On that last day, the day of the general judgment, how many millions of murdered, unborn children will rise to testify against their own parents?
Let us ask God to instill a holy fear of dine justice in the hearts of those who favor, promote, seek or perform abortions. May they recognize God as the sole Lord of life and death, repent for the wrong they have done, and make reparation for the sins they have encouraged or committed."
That is a stunning thought.
ReplyDeleteThe reverse I guess would be as Henry Hyde said, ""When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I've often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God -- and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there'll be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world -- and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, 'Spare him, because he loved us!'""
Thanks Esther.
