A Day Claimed by Evil

Mary

You see events exploding in many different places. This is the way it will be because evil is spilling over wherever there are openings in the society. Evil resides in the heart of human history, placed there by men’s countless sins. When this evil is not purged by repentance and God’s forgiving power, it grows and boils over wherever the society is weak.

On September 11, 2001, this evil broke forth in an extraordinary way. America was damaged. The terrorist world rejoiced. Ever since that decisive moment, the terrorists have taken heart.

They saw concrete evidence of their power. 9/11 has become their battle cry. They are emboldened and give the impression that the future belongs to them. The West is on the defensive. Even with its much greater resources, it has no battle cry. Such is the world without faith to unite hearts and to lead to victory.

However, the future is not determined. Man is free and evil flows according to man’s free decisions. If there is repentance and a turning to God, these events can be avoided. What voices are raised? These locutions are a tiny voice but if their message is carried by others, then all the world can hear.

Comment: Each year, on September 11 the West braces for new outbreaks. Where will we be in 2015? We must act quickly to turn the world to repentance.
