“There’s the communion of saints. Continue to pray for them; keep ther photographs and use the photos for prayers.” (Eparchy of Edmonton)[/caption]
Father Joseph Illo, pastor of Star of the Sea parish in San Francisco, gave a ten-minute homily on Sunday, November 3.
The month of November is a month of hope. Hope that I can reach eternal life, crossing the waters of death. And that we’re not alone. There’s the communion of saints.
Continue to pray for them; keep ther photographs and use the photos for prayers.
Moses tells of the Jewish people who want a land of their own. Moses said, “If you fear the Lord, you will have a long life in the land that is your own.” Indeed. the desert bloomed. In the New Covenant, the land is Heaven.
If I’m saying the 7 o’clock Mass, I’m thinking of breakfast. If I’m doing the noon Mass, I’m thinking about lunch. The evening Mass, I’m thinking about dinner. Hard to get beyond the world of the flesh.
November is not the month of elections.
But November is the month that calls us beyond that.
Thank you for posting that powerful Greek Catholic icon. Christ the Teacher, our Lord, God and Savior, in the center of all things; flanked by the Theotokos and Saint John, Baptist and Forerunner; and countless Saints and angels in worship. We are not alone. And, may we remember our beloved dead and all those who’ve died in our prayers.
Well, I am thrilled. We did it. We won. God Bless America. We are “America Strong,” going back to God, family, country, and eventually, Biblical teachings! Get busy, Rev. Franklin Graham, and your terrific BGEA, and our USCCB, too. “Proud to Be an American.” Play that great song again– I want to learn it. Now here is President Trump, and off we go, together, as Proud Americans– with a great hope for the future. A new beginning, a great hope. “In GOD We Trust.” Lots more daily Masses, prayers and religious devotions. Let’s go, America. We will make a truly great country, for GOD! God is with us.
What on earth is so wrong, with being excited about some hopeful good news, for your Church and country— and conveying your excitement in writing? Why did the editors take their precious time, to change many exclamation points (!) in my comment of Nov. 5 at 11:43pm — to deadpan, emotionless periods (.)? Why? Why can’t you accept a commenter writing, “Well, I am thrilled! We did it! We won! God Bless America!” Why can’t you accept that?
I am so thrilled that the Trump/Vance team won, because now, our Church and all Christians have a hope for the future, to be respected for our precious, Biblically-based Faith and Morals, and good Family Values, so that we can move forward, and help shape America into a country of faith in God, church-going, and Christian morality! We can work hard to get rid of all the Satanic Democrat and “1960s hippie” sin and filth! Children and young people now have the opportunity to be shaped with good Christian beliefs and religious practices, joining churches and attending them regularly, having church weddings and raising Catholic and Christian families in the churches, with the teaching and preaching of good priests and Protestant ministers, to make a new, Christian-filled country, shining with the Light and Love of dedication to Jesus Christ! — unhindered by evil legal actions of the horrifically immoral Democrats! Young people working hard in the Pro Life movement will not be targeted and harmed by the government, our Catholic schools and hospitals and religious orders will not be ordered to teach and practice evils like committing abortions or performing wrongful Transgender surgeries, and we may have the hope of getting rid of pornography in children’s libraries, Drag Queens, gay “marriage,” transgenders ruining school bathrooms and girls’ sports teams unfairly, and making abortion illegal in America, someday. We will have the hope to reform our sin-ravaged public schools, and get rid of sex-ed, LGBT and gender ideology, pornography, and all other horrific sins and evils. And we have the hope of defunding evil Planned Parenthood– and someday, running it out of our country, forever! We have hope! I am so very thrilled, so very thankful to God, for this hope! Let’s go, and make a unified America– “One Nation Under God!” For God, family, and country!
I submitted a link to an Instagram video, posted by a poor, young Black Ohio mother, whom I felt very badly for, battling filthy “sex-ed” in her little daughter’s 5th grade class at school. But that video is too extremely shocking. It is not appropriate to post here. I am hurting very badly from seeing it. It is far too shocking, far too horrible. Poor little children, robbed of their beautiful childhood innocence, with horrific sin! It is better for people to just try to do all they can, to get rid of sexual filth in our schools.
I think that “sex-ed’ should be strictly illegal. Parents must teach that at home, along with teaching their children about Marriage, maturity, and morality. That is a horrific video– please do not print it here. It is too horrible. Glad this lady’s husband is also helping to fight this Satanic evil! Again, please do not print that post with the Instagram link– big mistake! Thanks!
It is just unbelievable, beyond horrific– that a deeply upset mother, showing an actual video of her fifth-grade daughter’s “sex-ed” class at a very nice, local elementary school in Akron, Ohio, is actually way too pornographic for anyone to see– those poor, little innocent children were tragically scorched by the Devil, like some horrific, dirty, Satanic pedophile “teacher” got into the classroom, defiled and severely harmed them all– as in human trafficking–and threw the children on the garbage heap. This cannot be happening in America– nor anywhere on the planet. We need to fight a huge war on the filthy, Godless liberal “educators,” for the innocence of God’s little children– and make good, stern laws against “sex-ed” in schools! Those filthy “educators” should all be hauled off to jail and prosecuted– and the judge should give them all tough prison sentences, with hard labor, for the rest of their lives.
The young Ohio mother who is fighting her daughter’s elementary school and School Board over horrifically filthy “sex-ed” classes, has started a campaign to run for her local School Board. If anyone here in California is a conservative Catholic or Christian, who upholds good, traditional family values and Christian Morals, and believes only in a good, traditional education (no liberal “woke” trash) and might also be a parent, and interested to start a campaign to run for School Board, there is an excellent training program available, especially for you. The conservative Leadership Institute has a good training program for us traditional Christian conservatives, to help them start and succeed in a campaign to run for School Board. Huge numbers of people have taken this training recently, and have been very successful at getting elected to School Boards, all over the nation. This is a wonderful, new and exciting trend, a great hope for America! Here is a link to learn all about it:

I hope our churches are overflowing this Sunday with people thanking God for Trump’s victory in the election.
