    This Homily was given by Fr. Joseph Aytona, CPM on October 20th, 2024, at the Chapel of Divine Mercy in Auburn, KY at the 10:00am Sunday Mass. We welcome anyone who would like to attend in person...806 Shaker Museum Road Auburn Kentucky 42206.

    Prayer that Fr Joseph spoke about in his Homily (listed below)
    "" PRAYER ""
    Consecration of the Election to the Blessed Virgin Mary
    Mary Immaculate,
    living Tabernacle of the Divinity, where eternal wisdom lies hidden to be
    adored and served by angels and men,
    Queen of heaven and of earth, beneath whose sway are subject all things
    that are lower than God,
    Patroness of the United States of America,
    sorrowful and mindful of our own sinfulness and the sins of our nation,
    we come to Thee, our refuge and our hope.
    Knowing that our country cannot be saved by our own works and mindful of how
    much our nation has departed from the ways of Thy Son, we humbly ask that Thou
    wouldst turn Thine eyes upon our country to bring about its conversion.
    We consecrate to the Integrity of the upcoming election and its outcome,
    so that what is spiritually and morally best for the citizens of our country may
    be accomplished, and that all of those who are elected would govern according
    to the spiritual and moral principles which will bring our nation into conformity
    with the teachings of Thy Son.
    Give grace to the citizens of this land so that they will choose leaders according to
    the Sacred Heart of Thy Son, that His glory may be manifest, lest we be given
    leaders we deserve.
    Trusting in the providential care of God the Father and Thy maternal care, we have
    perfect confidence that Thou wilst take care of us and will not leave us forsaken.
    O Mary Immaculate, pray for us.
    Amen

    The Congregation of the Fathers of Mercy, which was founded in 1808, originally under the title of “The Missionaries of France.” The community was founded for the purpose of re-evangelizing the people of France after the Catholic Faith had been subjected to years of attacks and persecution during the French Revolution. It is now exclusively an American community. The Generalate of the Congregation is located in Auburn, Kentucky. The primary apostolate of the Fathers of Mercy is to conduct parish missions and retreats throughout the United States and other countries when called upon. The Congregation also staffs The National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Green Bay, WI, and two rural parishes in the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky.

    God bless you Fr Aytona, for speaking the truth and with passion. Will share with others.
    On your frustration that many if not most Catholics don't get the message, I think bishops and priests are too "politically correct" and "don't want to offend". The church has become a polite English tea party discussing cricket and the weather, rather than evangelising.
    It is not helped by this worst pope in history who - it is on the record and in video - scolded people who had converted others.

      Catechism of the Catholic Church 2239
      It is the duty of citizens to contribute along with the civil authorities to the good of society in a spirit of truth, justice,
      solidarity, and freedom. The love and service of one's country follow from the duty of gratitude and belong to the
      order of charity. Submission to legitimate authorities and service of the common good require citizens to fulfill their
      roles in the life of the political community.
      Citizens Have Co-Responsibility for Society
      This especially obliges those in a democracy who must elect representatives to run the State on their behalf. The duty to
      vote obliges depending on the issue and the worthiness of the candidates. It is more seriously obliged when a good
      candidate is opposed by an unworthy one,
      One may not vote for an enemy of religion or freedom, therefore, except to exclude a worse enemy of religion and
      freedom. In such a case, the exclusion of the worst candidate is the object which is intended, not the evils the less bad
      candidate might do.
