Prayers for Benedict


I was just reminded in an article I read that Benedict asked the following of us in his first homily as Pope--"Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves".

What a hard, hard job he has. I wouldn't want it for the world and neither did he. He wanted to retire and teach in his German homeland. But God saw fit, and hallalujah for it. But we should take him at his word, because he is most certainly a man against wolves who have no decency or truth in them. What a noble and horrible task he has! What brilliant and humble joy we should feel that it is him who has this task!

Viva la revolucion.

Oh how true this is. This sweet little, humble man has the whole world on his shoulders. The world hates him and us. People! stand up and be counted. And pray, pray hard for our people. We are at war with the world until the last day. I don't say Obama is the Antichrist, I try to pray for him and the words stick in my throat, but he and his culture STANDS FOR the antithesis of all we love and hold dear. I smile when I'm in my cups, but at other times I worry for all my young,

Viva la revolucion, indeed!
