Life will prevail

Many of you are disappointed with the results of the elections last night. Emotions range from disappointment to feeling lost at how to respond to near despair. It is these emotions that compelled me to write you this morning.

There is no doubt that, because of the results of the elections, the Culture of Life and pro-life movement will face some difficult challenges and struggles in the coming years. Our President-Elect is openly pro-abortion. Many of the elected Senators and Congressmen, both federal and local, advocate abortion. A number of proposed state amendments restricting abortion were defeated. You are probably thinking, "you are NOT making us feel better by telling us this." However, I say these things to point out the reality we find ourselves in today. But, there is another reality we must realize: Jesus Christ ultimately prevails.

Evil will be crushed by the Power of God - scripture tells us so. Our faith guarantees this and there is no disputing this. Yet, we will still face struggles. Jesus gained victory over death but he had to suffer greatly first. What did Jesus do when he faced these sufferings? He persevered. He picked up the cross and bore its weight to give us life. He kept moving forward despite the suffering he faced. He knew that beyond the suffering lay the glory of God. So it is the same for us.

We will face new crises, struggles and challenges to the pro-life movement. But, we must NEVER give up. We have, are and will continue to make a difference. The Culture of Life is not going to be won at the polling booth. Life is won one person at a time. Life wins by our continued work each and every day. Life is won by you. Keep promoting life. Keep spreading the Gospel truth: Life wins. death is destroyed. Pray for the future of this country. Pray for a change of heart for those in political positions who oppose to the Culture of Life. Finally, pray for each other that we may be strengthened and united to continue God's work here on earth knowing that Life will ultimately prevail. Until next time...God bless.
