Rhode Island

[DavidSears]

Well, this is a big prayer, but through God all things are possible. I live in Rhode Island (which is mostly Catholic because a large amount of Italian and Portuguese immigrants), but in the past couple of years, the ACLU and Governor Lincoln Chafee are trying to erase Christianity and all religions. A prayer banner at my school (public school, but was not recited by students) was removed by an Atheist girl that was offended with the help of the ACLU. Then, they tried to take down a World War II memorial in Woonsocket because it had a cross on it. Finally, this year and last (maybe one of you watched the O’Reilly Factor) Governor Chafee refuses to call the Christmas tree in the State House a CHRISTMAS tree but a Holiday tree. I didn’t mean to make this a huge story, but I’m just asking you to please pray that the Christians in Rhode Island keep their feet planted in the ground and celebrate it the way it is supposed to be celebrated, not the way our politicians want us to celebrate it, and that we may keep the faith strong. Thank you all and God bless.

***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Amen***

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

I’m sad to see the insanity is sparing not one inch square on earth. Prayer to God to enlighten these people and make them come to their senses.

Aside from prayer, you should handle this politician in a traditional American way. When the next gubbernatorial election comes around, contact all of your friends, neighbors, and aquaintences and vote the scoundrel out of office! If you really try to talk this thing up between now and the next election, you can do it, no matter who runs against him. You might even convince some G*d fearing Christian or Observant Jew to run against him!

Then you organize a ‘rally’ and with the appropriate permits to ‘gather’ and ensure free speech, sing some Christmas Carols around the tree…;>)

Thank you all for your prayers! And its funny, we had a very good Republican candidate against him and an okay Democratic candidate against him (Chafee is Independant), and yet a year after his election, everyone in RI says “oh I didn’t vote for him!” However he won’t get re-elected. The holiday tree is nothing compared to the whole school prayer thing at my school. If you look up School Prayer Cranston West on Google, you’ll get the whole story. But I digress, Christians all over the state are bonding together to fend off these personal attacks. People picket the lighting of this Holiday Tree every year, because it IS offensive! Thats like us calling a Menorah a “Holiday Candlestick.” Its just a personal attack on religion. But, we the people are strong. I’m sure as heck not going to conform to this Fascist **** the Atheists are spewing. I’m sorry but when someone attacks my religion I get FURIOUS. Tell these Atheists that the calendar we use today marks approx. 2012 years since the birth of Jesus, so if they don’t believe, tell them to use a calendar without eras! Let them be in year 6,000 or something. I’m throwing a challenge. I’m really sorry for ranting, but thank you all for your prayers. It seems like this whole thing has taken Christians’ focus off commercialism and focusing it toward what its actually for, which is a good thing.

Mother Mary, I entrust the people of Rhode Island to your loving care. Please help them to be faithful; may they celebrate Christmas the right way and honor Our Lord in most special way on Christmas day. Amen.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Your eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Amen
