Tuesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time| Destroy

Reading 1

Responsorial Psalm

Alleluia

Gospel

On this 5th day of the Season of Creation, will I encourage and build up the Synod so that I see the good things of the Lord, or, under the guise of banquets, walks and bans, join with MAGA in using the violence of abortion to sacrifice innocents from conception to 15 weeks to get money, likes and political power; and having joined MAGA, when the prophetic voice arises in the Church at the Synod, will the demons in me be crying out, “Have you come to destroy us?”❓

From September 1 – October 4, the Christian family unites worldwide in prayer and action for creation during the Season of Creation. The 2023 theme is “Let Justice and Peace Flow.”

“in this Season of Creation, as followers of Christ on our shared synodal journey, we may live, work, and pray so that our common home will teem with life once again.”

Pope Francis

Another encyclical from the Pope on protecting the environment? Please, give me a break. How about an encyclical on protecting the #unborn from #abortion, which has claimed far more lives than climate change, pandemics, wars, the death penalty, or anything else!

When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected. 

Laudato si, paragraph 117
