Exciting news for Catholics in America. When Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City discovered the plans for a "black mass" in his diocese, he went to work first to get the Consecrated Host back from the Satanists. Once that done, he didn't stop. He organized a prayer service to take place at the same time as the black mass was to occur. He also asked for Catholics throughout America to pray. We in the Diocese of Pittsburgh had a Eucharistic Prayers service which included the Rite of Solemn Exposition and Benediction at the Seminary in Crafton. Several hundred people came to pray.
In Oklahoma City the prayer service led by Archbishop Coakley took place at the St. Francis of Assisi Church in Oklahoma City. Some 1,200 people crowded in while others filled a nearby gymnasium, a cafeteria, and areas outside the church.
The Satanic Mass? It brought in less than 50 people.
That's surely the power of prayer at work! We need to continue to pray for the 50 souls who were in attendance, that they will be transformed and find their way to Jesus, in love.
Why do people worship Satan?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question, Zachariah! When people don't choose God as their Higher Power in life, they open themselves to other options. That's why many people fall into addictions - like becoming Drug Addicts, or Alcoholics, or Gamblers who can't control themselves. I suppose when someone says, "no" to God long enough, or even ignores or denies that God is Almighty, that person can become hardened toward God and that can open the door to allowing other things come into control over their lives. Satan is real. He uses every opportunity to steal us away from the love of God. If a person chooses not to accept that love, it leaves a hole in them which needs to be filled - and Satan is always happy to fill it with himself. ... Any one else have any thoughts on this?
