To be clear, we are not telling you who to vote for. That’s your vote, your conscience. But we are reminding you of your grave duty to vote and the principles and conditions that should guide your vote.
For example, all the recent Popes have declared that the life issue is “foundational, paramount, and the bedrock” for any successful and ordered society. Once again, the one candidate gives a far greater chance for a baby (and senior) to see the light of day than the other who proudly stands for unlimited abortion until birth.
You have heard it said many times, we are living in an imperfect world, so you will certainly not find a perfect candidate. As Cardinal Burke wisely expressed recently, you are not voting for the iniquitous agenda, but the ray of hope that the candidate offers. Or some may express it another way: you are voting for the lesser of two evils.
The bottom line is we are in the midst of an epic spiritual battle—Heaven calls it Armageddon—Jesus, Mary and St. Michael against Lucifer and his dastardly crew. We can’t afford to blow this opportunity or we’ll be plunged into greater darkness and chaos.
Let us invoke the powerful Our Lady of the Roses, especially at Her glorious Shrine, and the Greatest Warrior that the right person is elected—the one who truly loves and cares for America and, even more importantly, acknowledges and respects the Eternal Father.
If we succeed in this election, it gives us a chance for a little sunshine and optimism, that with prayer and charitable works the lofty patriotic hymn, America the Beautiful, will ring true again.
After all, Hope springs eternal.
