If we present our poverty to the Lord, with an existence marked by tears and suffering, but with the tenacious faith of the Canaanite woman (see Mt 15:21-28) then the Lord cannot but welcome our prayer with His paternal eyes and heart. #GospelOfTheDay

ARCHBISHOP VIGANO
WHAT MORE EFFECTIVE WAY IS THERE TO DO THIS, MR. PRESIDENT, THAN BY PRAYER, ASKING THE LORD TO PROTECT YOU, THE UNITED STATES, AND ALL OF HUMANITY FROM THIS ENORMOUS ATTACK OF THE ENEMY?
me
if we pray for “all of humanity” for protection against the “attack of the enemy”, why is it necessary to pray specifically for our president and country?
Today’s Scriptures
for my house shall be called
a house of prayer for all peoples.
ARCHBISHOP VIGANO
BEFORE THE POWER OF PRAYER, THE DECEPTIONS OF THE CHILDREN OF DARKNESS WILL COLLAPSE, THEIR PLOTS WILL BE REVEALED, THEIR BETRAYAL WILL BE SHOWN, THEIR FRIGHTENING POWER WILL END IN NOTHING, BROUGHT TO LIGHT AND EXPOSED FOR WHAT IT IS: AN INFERNAL DECEPTION.
me
since by virtue of my baptism i have been chosen to be a child of the light, how is it that i become a child of the darkness by refuting archbishop vigano? since my being a child of darkness is a deception, have i not been deceived if i pray for an end to something that is being done by those who don’t exist?
Today’s Scriptures
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May God have pity on us and bless us;
ARCHBISHOP VIGANO
MR. PRESIDENT, MY PRAYER IS CONSTANTLY TURNED TO THE BELOVED AMERICAN NATION, WHERE I HAD THE PRIVILEGE AND HONOR OF BEING SENT BY POPE BENEDICT XVI AS APOSTOLIC NUNCIO.
me
although the american nation is beloved by me, and israel is God’s beloved, who is the one vigano is referring to as the “beloved” when he writes, “the beloved American nation”?
Today’s Scriptures
Brothers and sisters:
I am speaking to you Gentiles.
Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,
I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous
and thus save some of them.
ARCHBISHOP VIGANO
IN THIS DRAMATIC AND DECISIVE HOUR FOR ALL OF HUMANITY, I AM PRAYING FOR YOU (PRESIDENT TRUMP) AND ALSO FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE AT YOUR SIDE IN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
me
given that God is already acting as the ultimate agent in this drama, and He is the final end of this process, is archbishop vigano praying here that God’s or president trump’s, “will be done”?
Today’s Scriptures
“… great is your faith!
Let it be done for you as you wish.”
