Hand of God about to fall

August 02, 2003

Two years ago about this time, the hand of God was about to fall. The Blessed Mother went before the Blessed Trinity and begged for more time. God literally had enough.Yet, the Mother of God persisted in her pleas for us.

The Blessed Trinity told Our Lady that very few people bothered to thank God for anything in their lives. In fact, God only heard sarcastic thanks when something didn't go right. Whether it was that flat tire or the bounced check, the lost job or the broken relationship, the Blessed Trinity only heard, "Thanks a lot God. Is this how you show your love?!" Very few people ever thanked God for the fact that their flat tires weren't something worse and so on. We wandered even further from God.

The Hand of God was falling, still the Blessed Mother humbly persisted in her pleas. She knew she could offer very little reason to stay God's hand, but she had to try because we are her children. Even those who hate and despise her are loved by Our Lady and she begged God to have mercy, particularly on the United States.

God answered her prayer. Our Lady found a few people who would offer up their rosaries in thanksgiving, especially for all those who fail to thank God.

The Blessed Trinity accepted those rosaries two years ago. Had They not, September 11th would have been far more successful for the terrorists and far more devastating.

Two years have gone by and very few of us still don't thank God for anything. We are faced with the most anomalous events and behavior in human history. We know something is about to happen. We have been warned.

Being selfish, we go on with our lives and only talk to God when we need something. We promise Him anything if He'll get us out of this jam or that, if He'd find us a better job, or a new car, but we never thank Him for what we have.

The Hand of God is raised and is about to descend. Will you join me in saying a daily rosary in thanksgiving, not asking anything of God but to accept our humble prayers? You don't have to be Catholic to pray the rosary. If you need more information on praying the rosary, please click here.

Our animals are warning us. God is warning us. Please remember to thank God, or His Hand will fall. It is entirely up to us. Let's try to stop what is about to happen.
