Ireland, Title X and Pentecost

May 16-24 Novena for Ireland. The Irish people will vote May 25 whether or not to preserve the eighth amendment to the Irish Constitution, which saves 100,000 unborn lives each year, giving Equal Human Rights for both Mother and unborn Child. The Irish vote has the potential to impact all of Europe. It really is a Battle of Lepanto, a Battle or Tours (Poitiers) in the defense of God's Christ. Please pray this novena.

President Trump has announced Title X ("family planning") funds will no longer go to organizations performing abortions, which will result in a loss of approximately $50,000,000 for Planned Parenthood annually. In order to permanently deprive Planned Parenthood of Medicaid funding, Congress would have to pass a law to that effect requiring 60 votes in the Senate.

Thoughts on the Incarnation, Pentecost, and AntiChrist
The present turmoil in the Church is a result of individuals failing to grasp the full significance of the Incarnation – that action of God becoming a human being and fully entering the human condition. In doing this, God chose the most effective way to save us from sin and eternal death. But because God in our regard always acts in a super-abundant way above and beyond what we need, ask for, or can even imagine, He also became a human being to make us sharers in the life of the Holy Trinity. The human creature was fashioned with a capacity for the Divine Life. We are made to live a holy life here and now, glorifying God in our bodies by cooperating with grace as God continues to fashion us as temples of the Holy Spirit, while simultaneously always keeping in view the goal of living eternally with the Triune God, the angels, and the saints. Those in positions of responsibility who lose sight of these things narrow the field of vision by attempting to secure human happiness and peace in the here and now, undervaluing the seriousness of sin and turning God’s call for us to be holy as He is holy into an ideal adjusted to human circumstances. In their scheme, God becomes one of us to remain one of us. God’s intention in the Incarnation to draw us into the Otherness of His Triune Life is obscured and ultimately rejected.

“Many deceitful men have gone out into the world, men who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. Such is the deceitful one! This is the antichrist! Look out that you yourselves do not lose what you have worked for; you must receive your reward in full.

“Anyone who is so ‘progressive’ that he does not remain rooted in the teaching of Christ does not possess God, while anyone who remains rooted in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you who does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house; do not even greet him, for whoever greets him shares in the evil he does.” (2 John: 7-11)

“Since our weak minds cannot comprehend the Father or the Son, we have been given the Holy Spirit as our intermediary and advocate, to shed light on that hard doctrine of our faith, the incarnation of God.” (From the treatise On the Trinity by Saint Hilary, bishop) Hat Tip Br. Paul for this
