News Flash!! This Just In... A MUST Read!!

Our reporter, St. Matthew, just called in the following to the newsroom!!  (From Chapter 18...)

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? [2] And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them, [3] And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. [5] And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

[6] But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. [7] Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. [8] And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. [9] And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. [10] See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

St. Matthew was "shocked" to hear that we -- adults -- must become as little children!   For a time, he was a little confused, but not for long, as he was inspired by the Holy Ghost, not only to write his report, but also to understand what Christ really meant..

Now, just think for a moment... if Christ tells us that we must never be guilty of scandalizing the little ones that God has given us, can you imagine what a high price there is going to be paid for those who do more than scandalize. e.g.: exterminate the pre-born, and now the born -- infanticide?? 

I dread to think about it..

Many thanks to St. Matthew, and the other "reporters" for the great work they did -- and continue to do!!

Pray for our country...
