As the Family Goes So Goes the Nation
As the family goes, so goes the nation
As the family goes,
so goes the nation.
This saying, spoken past a wise, aboriginal philosopher, has been passed down through the ages and is as relevant today as ever it was.
Pope John Paul 2 in his homily delivered at the St. Louis Trans Globe Dome Papal Mass, Jan 27, 1999, said:
"As the new evangelization unfolds, it must include a special emphasis on the family unit and the renewal of Christian matrimony. In their primary mission of communicating love to each other, of being co-creators with God of human life, and of transmitting the dear of God to their children, parents must know that they are fully supported past the Church and by guild. The new evangelization must bring a fuller appreciation of the family every bit the primary and near vital foundation of society, the first school of social virtue and solidarity (cf. Familiaris Consortio, 42)."
As the family goes, then goes the nation! I can still recollect, in my Catholic grade school, nuns teaching history telling us Rome fell because of moral deposition and French republic was undone past the breakdown of the family. I don't remember anything like that is taught today. And yet it is then evident the deplorable road our country is taking with the breakup of family values.
Society tells u.s.a. the solution for an unwanted pregnancy is ballgame and for an unhappy marriage divorce. In reality abortion and divorce are not solutions they are evils. Evils cloaked in glittery glamour and made to expect even more than adequate but sometimes even desirable. There are those who know the truth but they are the voiceless little ones snuffed out in their mothers wombs and the children of divorce. And in this decorated age who has time to listen to children.
There is a phonation speaking out loud and articulate AMERICA WAKE Upwards!! Carmine ALERT!! THE WORLD IS IN DANGER!! That is the voice of John Paul II and we would all be wise to heed and deed upon what he is telling us. Simply just like afterward the dire and dreadful fourth dimension of the crucifixion at that place was the glorious and uplifting resurrection, at that place is much more that is positive virtually America than is negative. Namely millions of basically proficient people and it is they who can overcome the evils in our society if they only look to God for the answers.
If they heed to the words of John Paul II and resolve to act on them with a modify of hearts and lifestyles. And and so, most encouraging of all, are the many immature parents waging a tremendous struggle raising their children with solid values in spite of the bad influences in today's culture.
Oh how I wish they could know how dear they are to our hearts. How very much they are appreciated for the wonderful gift they are giving every citizen of this nation.

Through the ages women and children, unfortunately, have fallen into the category of the powerless and insignificant. Merely the powerless and the insignificant of this world accept a special pipeline to God. And the greatest power of anyone to intercede, mediate or abet, God gave to a adult female, His mother Mary.
Catholics sympathise this and sympathize Mary's office in conservancy. They know Mary, equally a human being, is just one among many. Merely Mary the adult female chosen to be the Mother of God has groovy significance. She has been assigned the most of import role in God'southward programme, to lead us to Jesus.
All of my life I have seen what seemed impossible come about by prayer. I accept witnessed what I would call mini miracles and what I would call major miracles occur when people prayed.
That is why prayer is the essential element in starting and maintaining this web site. Already nosotros have seen the results prayer has brought virtually. A small grouping of women in Los Angeles started praying for this web site when it seemed just an impossible dream on a afar horizon. And, as dramatic equally the departing of the Red Sea, information technology happened.
Please pray with usa that the Catholic Women's Web site will fulfill God's plan for information technology. Pray especially through the Blessed Mother, request the Father in the name of Jesus that our web site exist successful. I'll sign off now to become and pray the rosary, a almost powerful weapon.
