Bless these United States of America

[Shane Schaetzel †☧ @ShaneSchaetzel]

Today, the United States will be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus ❤️‍🔥 in a solemn act at 4pm EDT, 3pm CDT, 2pm MDT, and 1pm PDT.

Every Catholic American should participate in this act at or near this time with the following prayer…👇🏻

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: 

You know the longings of our hearts, and you desire that we enjoy friendship with you. 

From your pierced side, you have poured out the wellspring of life, for which we thirst. 

Your heart burns with a love for all people to return to a right relationship with you. 

We celebrate the abundant gifts you have given this nation, founded on the self-evident truths that our Creator has endowed all people with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 

We make reparation for the offenses against you and against human dignity that have taken place in this nation. 

May our hearts be united to yours, so that our families and communities enjoy peace and happiness; may broken relationships be reconciled, injustices repaired, and the wounds of our land be healed. 

May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign, pointing all people to your infinite love. 

O Desire of Nations and Center of History, we ask you to bless these United States of America. 

Who live and reign with God the Father  in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. 

Amen. 

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! 

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

I’m old enough to remember when you could actually watch cable TV and find intelligent conversations. Once upon a time, Fulton Sheen sat with William F. Buckley on his Firing Line television program.

Even though it’s been more than 50 years since he said this, I think the quote is not only prophetic but the key to understanding what is wrong with our age today. Sheen warned that compassion shown more for the mugger than for the mugged was dangerous and he noticed it was becoming more and more common.

It was commentary back then, but now it looks more like prophecy.

I’ll never understand why people have more compassion for the criminal than the victim.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote as we approach the one-year anniversary of Iryna Zarutska’s death.

Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, you were right. Pray for us.

@JasonBassler1 At this point, and I have said it before, every law passed should be applicable to Congress first for a set period before it can be enforced on the populus

I've been in the Navy for 20 years. Traveled all over the world and gone to Catholic Masses all over Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, etc. Mass in the vernacular is fine in theory but in practice excludes the laity from the participation that V2 desired for the modernization of the Church.

Do you know what allowed me to participate in Mass from Singapore to France to Brazil to Japan?

Latin.

I knew the words in Latin and knew what they meant, and no matter what country or continent I was in, I could participate in the prayers and song. This is what makes the Church universal (katholikos).

YET!, they keep debasing the currency with reckless abandonment encouraged by the masses for their stimulus stipends.

Congress is scrambling right now to pass online identity checks to use the internet—just like we’re seeing in places like the UK—before anyone realizes what they’re doing.

They’re using “protecting kids” as their excuse, but it’s really about spying on and controlling Americans!

I am begging you to read some fiction bro.

→ Not because it makes you look smart.

→ Because fiction teaches things that bullet points can’t.

→ A self-help book tells you to be resilient.

→ The Count of Monte Cristo makes you live through resilience for 1,000+ pages.

→ A self-help book tells you to understand people.

→ Dostoevsky puts you inside minds you’d never otherwise understand.

→ Information is easy to forget.

→ Experience isn’t.

Read fiction.
Your attention span, empathy, vocabulary, and understanding of human nature will improve.

The Constitution is full of phrases like, "'Congress shall not...no law shall be passed.’ It's not about what the government will DO for you" says @robkhenderson.

It's about how "government is not going to interfere in your lives."

A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

The two greatest heresies afflicting the Catholic Church today are Liberalism and Neo-Donatism. Hear me out…

LIBERALISM is the chief and parental error of two subordinate (offspring) errors: Modernism and Americanism. Each seeks to reconcile Catholicism with modern secular/liberal values (individual liberty, democracy, science, progress, etc.) at the expense of traditional doctrine, authority, or discipline. They downplay or relativize the Church’s hierarchical teaching office, Tradition, and supernatural elements in favor of human reason, experience, or cultural accommodation. All draw from Enlightenment-Era ideas — freedom of conscience, separation of Church and State, and optimism about human progress — and are often threats to Catholic orthodoxy. Each was officially rejected by the Church. Liberalism was rejected broadly by multiple popes, Americanism by Leo XIII in Testem Benevolentiae 1899, Modernism by St. Pius X in Pascendi 1907 and the Oath Against Modernism. It’s important to use the term Liberalism (as opposed to Modernism or Americanism) because the problems in the Church today fall under all three categories and the only one that encompasses them all is “Liberalism.” Note: The heresy of Americanism is not about Catholics loving America or being patriotic, as some Liberal Catholics suggest. Ironically, those Liberal Catholics are far more likely to be practicing actual Americanism as defined by Pope Leo XIII.

NEO-DONATISM is the latest manifestation of a problem that has plagued the Catholic Church since the very beginning. It’s this idea that we must be pure by separating ourselves from that which is impure in the Church. Under classical Donatism the ordination of priests was considered invalid if they turned out to be egregious sinners or denied the faith under persecution. This meant that baptisms and other sacraments could also be considered invalid based on the worthiness of the ministering priest. The Church soundly condemned this heresy in the First Millennium. In modern times, the heresy is resurrected as Neo-Donatism which is a knee jerk reaction to Liberalism. Only in this case, it is not just the ministers that are considered unworthy, but also the rites and sacraments themselves. I’m speaking specifically of the rejection of Vatican II and the Novus Ordo liturgy. Note: That’s not to say the post-conciliar Church is above criticism, it’s not, but criticism of sloppy liturgy and poor catechesis should never equate to calling these things “illegitimate.”

Catholics must resist both the Liberal and Neo-Donatist errors.
