TO LISTEN TO ONE OF HER PRIEST-SONS, EXPLAIN
"QUO VADIS, AMERICA",
Don't go to battle without Our Lady!
With Jesus' Mother Without Jesus' Mother
Dt 30:15-20
The Choice Before Israel.
15 See, I have today set before you life and good, death and evil.
16 If you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I am giving you today, loving the LORD, your God, and walking in his ways, and keeping his commandments, statutes and ordinances, you will live and grow numerous, and the LORD, your God, will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
17 If, however, your heart turns away and you do not obey, but are led astray and bow down to other gods and serve them,
18 I tell you today that you will certainly perish; you will not have a long life on the land which you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19 I call heaven and earth today to witness against you:m I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live,
20 by loving the LORD, your God, obeying his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you, a long life for you to live on the land which the LORD swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.

To read about the 2020 Louisiana Holy Water Blessing of America, please go to this website's page titled "Louisiana - Holy Water Blessing". "Our Lady of America" through that title and this statue, in particular, helped to inspire that particular Random Act of Faith in 2020 that began in Louisiana in January of 2020 that spiritually impacted America at this critical time. Please go to that website page and read about it what was done in 2020 and 2001!
It is indeed a tearful matter to turn toward the curse of death. When so doing, we not only cause the death of a great nation, and of others, but our own personal eternal death as well. Let us muster the strength through Grace to move to "Reverse the Curse" of death placed upon this land over 200 years ago and instead turn toward the "Blessing of Life". St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, please pray that through intercession to you and service we can "Reverse the Curse" of death tied to the Culture of Death.
THE LOUISIANA BISHOPS SUPPORT LIFE AMENDMENT! The Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops strongly supported the Love Life Amendment, which would successfully amended the Louisiana Constitution and thereby they continue to strengthen our commitment to end abortion in our state. As Catholics, we are called to ensure that life is indeed valued and that the dignity of all is upheld. This is the foundational principle of our social teaching and must be intentionally considered in all that we do.
The Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops enthusiastically supported the Love Life Amendment, and encouraged all to approach this initiative with a formed conscience and a commitment to defend the sanctity of human life and uphold the dignity of all people.
LOUISIANA!

Assurance of God's Protection
Psalm 91: 1-16
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your way. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
