In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. My dear friends, today we celebrate the anniversary of a day of infamy here in our country, the 40th anniversary of the proclamation, the decision of the Supreme Court that abortion was a legal right in our country. The life, the rights, the rights of the children. Abortion did not count. My dear friends, it is a terrible blot on our country. Abortion is the ultimate crime, crime against life. God who wishes to give human life to us and to many children, souls, and then eternal life is taken away. We can only hope that in eternity, somehow or other, like the holy innocents, God will provide for all these babies. At the tune, as you know, over a hundred million a year throughout the world. In America, some close to two million a year. So we, certainly it's a terrible thing. Father John Harden talking about this. Talked about the importance of making reparation for this terrible crime. And he recommended going to Holy Mass, assisting at Holy Mass, living the Mass, and having Masses said in reparation for these sins. This crime of abortion. Crime of selfishness. Of course, that's all it is. Parents do not wish, the mother especially, does not wish to be inconvenienced as it were. Of course, sometimes there's very extenuating circumstances, embarrassment and so on. And shame and so forth, all enter into it. But it begins with self-indulgence. Using the faculties of generosity. This is a generation that God has given us for our own pleasure. And it all goes back to the society which worships sexual pleasure and allows it. And does not use it as God intended it. God has intended us as to be procreators in this wonderful life. Procreators of future life. He infuses the soul into the body once it has been conceived in the mother's womb. And so husband and wife are procreators with God. It's the most beautiful privilege in the world. Sadly we have abused it in our lustful desires. And this is why we have the terrible crime of abortion. And therefore it needs to be recommended. Jesus who wants to give life and wants to have the little children come unto him. So this is an abominable crime. It's the index of one's morality. If you can abort a child, we can see how sad it is for our society. Not only we permit it, but we legalize it. And we promote it. And this is certainly something that we don't want to have happen. For too long it's happened already. God alone creates the human soul. And he alone has the right to give it life or not. He alone has privilege of life and death. Not the human being. And we have taken this for ourselves. And it is a terrible crime against God. And a terrible crime against life. Because it deprives all these little children of the life that God wants to give them. Who knows what gifts God had intended these children to give to the world. How much joy they would share with us. Instead, we allow the babies to be killed. And we find, of course, so many women who afterwards repent. Feel the guilt in their hearts for the rest of their lives. The guilt and shame. And this is the price of sin. This is why we need to make reparation. And this is why we need to pray. Pray for souls. And this, of course, is the price of sin. This, of course, is the reason why we need to promote chastity. Because it is the only way. It's God's way. God's commandments. Once we disobey God's commandments, we bring terrible problems on ourselves. We hurt God immensely. That's why they're forbidden. These acts of these sins. And then we hurt ourselves. How much guilt these souls feel. The rest of their lives. They never forget it. They never forget it. Sadly, in a moment of weakness, the mother goes into the abortion clinic and has the abortion. And she comes out so depressed. So full of shame. Sorry for what she's done. We feel sorry for these mothers, of course. And we feel sorry for what they've done. But we have allowed it. And the politicians who promote it and the justices who condoned it, they need to examine their conscience. We need to rid ourselves of this terrible crime in our nation. And one of the best ways to do that is to pray. We need to enlighten the people. We need to enlighten their will, their minds, so that they understand what they've done. And then we need to give them the strength of their will, so that they no longer do this. These abortionists, anybody who promotes abortion, anybody who has helped somebody have an abortion, those women who have had abortions, and so forth. They need to all be enlightened. They need to all be enlightened. And we need, this can only happen with the grace of God, to bring down the grace of God into their understanding. So that their wills will be confirmed in goodness. And they will not, and they'll be strengthened so that they will not do these crimes. This is especially important for abortionists. Those who kill the babies. For money and so forth. It's certainly an abomination. And we know from these 40 years of history that many of them have turned aside, and they're so sorry. We're all sinners, I don't want to condemn anybody. We're all sinners, as we know, let him without sin cast the first stone. So we want these abortionists to repent of their crimes. Amen. May God Cookie You! Verse 23 Jesus sacrifies himself for us. At the consecration, we ask God to stay on earth. we have the double consecration the consecration of the bread to the body of Christ and the consecration of the wine to the blood of Christ whenever you have a separation of the body from the blood we have death and there is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ the same sacrifice that he did on the cross now of course by the priest as Jesus has asked us to do this in remembrance of me in and on bloody matter but still we see always the enactment of Christ's sacrifice and so we need to live the mass making sacrifices as Our Lady of Fatima said to make sacrifices for sinners because as she says many souls will go to hell because no one makes praise or sacrifices for them so when we live the mass we make sacrifices and we make sacrifices and we live a life of sacrifice and then we should have masses said for the reparation for the sin of abortion and for the conversion of abortionists and also for the reconciliation of the women with God so that they would be freed from the guilt of this sin at least they will know that God has forgiven them this is a wonderful a wonderful feeling a wonderful feeling in the Catholic Church we know we have confession and this sin can be forgiven of course any sin that we're particularly sorry for the Lord will forgive no matter how big he's a God of mercy of course we have to forgive ourselves that's not so easy but God will forgive us and that's very important and that's why we want to pray during these times of this terrible sin in our society for the conversion of abortionists and for the conversion of those women who've had abortion and in reparation for the sins and with God's grace this blot in our society will be removed and somehow or other we'll have a miracle where we will no longer have abortion in our land we've been at it now for 40 years a biblical number 40 years the Jews wandered in the desert so America has wandered in a wasteland for 40 years and let's hope that the politicians will see what they've done and the people will see what they've done and will repent of our sins so we ask this God we ask this grace of God so that we will be able to continue and give life to all those millions and millions of babies that have been aborted a hundred million a year who can even imagine what that is like a hundred million children killed every day every year in our world so we need to pray and sacrifice because as I see it this is the crime that will bring down terrible punishments on our land as we know America is suffering a great deal in many areas and there's wars and there's persecutions and so on and it's all due to sin the sins that we have committed especially the sin of abortion so let us pray pray the rosary as Our Lady said at Fatima to make up for the sins of the world and to make sacrifices so that for the conversion of sinners and for the conversion of abortionists that they will no longer do this heinous crime may the Lord bless you amen
