Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy. O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son, Who are in the bosom of the Father, True God,source of life and immortality, Light of Light, Who came into the world to enlighten it: You were pleased to be conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary for the salvation of our souls by the power of Your All-Holy Spirit. O Master, who came that we might have life more abundantly, we ask You to enlighten the minds and hearts of those blinded to the truth that life begins at conception and that the unborn in the womb are already adorned with Your image and likeness; enable us to guard, cherish and protect the lives of all those who are unable to care for themselves. For You are the Giver of Life, bringing each person from non-being into being, sealing each person with divine and infinite love. Be Merciful, O Lord, to those who, through ignorance or willfulness, affront Your divine goodness and providence through the evil act of abortion. May they, and all of us, come to the life of Your Truth and glorify You, the Giver of Life, together with Your Father, and Your All-Holy and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. [from The Orthodox Church in America]

My wife and I finally saw The Book Thief last night.  Strangely appropriate it seems that we saw this film the night before the Church draws her attention to the plight of the unborn in this nation and around the world. Nearly seventy years ago Naziism, Hitler, Mein Kampf were eradicated from the earth.  Or so we think.  Our nation alone has been guilty of more than eight holocausts through the murder of the unborn over the past forty-one years and growing.  The liberal elite has tolerated, if not embraced, Islam which hates Jews and Christians every bit as much as proponents of the "Final Solution".  Many Americans are at peace with the federal government's seizure of 1/7th of the economy through socialized health care (remember it was National Socialism).  The ability of the federal government to spy on anyone at any time makes the Nazis' ability to do the same look like "tattle-taling" in kindergarten.  The propaganda regime of the American mainstream media would be the envy of Joseph Goebbels (Goebbels once said, “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”).  In going along with the ungodly worldview of the state and "culture", most of the modern church has a striking resemblance to the nazified church of the Third Reich.  Much like the Confessing CToday we will unite with what is perhaps a minority, the faithful, to call on our Triune God to hear and speedily to end the legalized murder of the unborn in this land and abroad.  We will enter the heavenly Throne Room with the faithful, where we will make this bold request.  Our Faithful Lord will nourish us and equip us for the fight to proclaim and announce that Jesus Christ is King and Lord of all!
