Remember this tomorrow:

Steve Kellmeyer

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks
in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

We don't have to be happy, we do have to be joyful.Being happy is being comfortable, healthy and well-fed.

Being joyful is knowing that God's plan is being worked out, and our obedience and submission to it contributes to His glory.

Jesus was not happy on the Cross, but He was joyful.We fast and pray, we ask for mercy, but we accept whatever comes, punishment or pleasure.

Times of persecution were prophesied.

If we are found worthy to be subject to them, we should rejoice.

"Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,nor be weary when reproved by him.For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,and chastises every son whom he receives."

It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them.
Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they
disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us
for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline
seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of
righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a
single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the
blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it
with tears.

Hebrews 12:3-17

Every drop of blood shed by the abortionist's scalpel will have to be repaid. Perhaps we have been chosen to participate, be God's co-workers, as St. Paul said, in this work of redemption...Conversely, if the Butcher from Chicago fails in his bid, then we must raise our voices in the ancient hymns:

Non nobis, Domine, Domine,

non nobis, Domine Sed nomini,

sed nomini,tuo da gloriam.

Not to us, Lord,But to your Name, be all glory.

Here are two renditions of how to sing it:

R. In te, Domine, speravi: non confundar in aeternum.

(R. O Lord, in Thee I have hoped; let me never be put to shame. )

The following is a well known translation of the Te Deum, which, though not literal, preserves much of the spirit and force of the original. Except for the seventh stanza, which is a rendering of verses 20 and 21 by Msgr. Hugh Thomas Henry (1862-1946), it was written by Fr. Clarence Alphonsus Walworth (1820-1900).

HOLY God, we praise Thy Name Lord of all we bow before Thee;all on earth Thy scepter claim,all in heaven above adore Thee;Infinite Thy vast domain,everlasting is Thy reign.

HARK, the loud celestial hymnangel choirs above are raising;Cherubim and Seraphimin unceasing chorus praising,fill the heavens with sweet accord;Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!

LO, the Apostolic train Join, Thy sacred name to hallow:prophets swell the loud refrain,and the white-robbed Martyrs follow;and, from morn till set of sun,through the Church the song goes on.

HOLY Father, Holy Son,Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee,While in essence only One,undivided God we claim Thee:and, adoring, bend the kneewhile we own the mystery.

THOU art King of glory, Christ:Son of God, yet born of Mary;for us sinners sacrificed,and to death a tributary:first to break the bars of death,Thou has opened heaven to faith.

FROM Thy high celestial home,Judge of all, again returning,we believe that Thou shalt comein the dreaded Doomsday morning;when Thy voice shall shake the earth,and the startled dead come forth.

THEREFORE do we pray Thee, Lord:help Thy servants whom, redeemingby Thy Precious Blood out-poured,Thou hast saved from Satan's scheming.Give to them eternal restin the glory of the Blest.

SPARE Thy people, Lord, we pray,by a thousand snares surrounded:keep us without sin today,never let us be confounded. Lo, I put my trust in Thee;never, Lord, abandon me.

"The world is rapidly being divided into two camps, the comradeship of anti-Christ and the brotherhood of Christ. The lines between these two are being drawn. How long the battle will be we know not; whether swords will have to be unsheathed we know not; whether blood will have to be shed we know not; whether it will be an armed conflict we know not. But in a conflict between truth and darkness, truth cannot lose."
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
