Thomas J. Paprocki Quotes

• Our prayer service today and my words are not meant to demonize anyone, but are intended to call attention to the diabolical influences of the devil that have penetrated our culture, both in the state and in the Church. These demonic influences are not readily apparent to the undiscerning eye, which is why they are so deceptive.

• The Good News is that God's mercy and forgiveness extend to those who repent. Mercy does not mean approving of something that is sinful, but does absolve the wrongdoer after a change of heart takes place in the sinner through the gift of God's grace.

• No es odioso decir que una acción inmoral es pecado. Al contrario, lo más compasivo que podemos hacer es ayudar a las personas a apartarse del pecado. Ignorar las malas acciones de otra persona es un signo de apatía o indiferencia, mientras que la corrección fraterna está motivada por el amor al bienestar de esa persona, como puede verse por el hecho de que nuestro Señor Jesús mismo instó a tal corrección. De hecho, la llamada al arrepentimiento está en el corazón del Evangelio, como proclamó Jesús: "El Reino de Dios está cerca. Arrepentíos y creed en la Buena Nueva" (Marcos 1:15).

• Quiero comenzar mis reflexiones diciendo que dirijo este servicio de oración y me dirijo a ustedes ahora con gran reticencia. No he querido entrar en ninguna polémica y no me gusta formar parte de ella. Pero he reflexionado y rezado mucho sobre este asunto, lo que me ha llevado a la convicción de que Dios me llama a hablar y a dirigir estas oraciones.

• Our prayers at this time are prompted by the fact that the Governor of Illinois today is signing into Illinois law the redefinition of civil marriage, introducing not only an unprecedented novelty into our state law, but also institutionalizing an objectively sinful reality.

• This is a key point which the secularists are missing: they think that stressing God's mercy means that sins are no longer sins. On the contrary, God's mercy is a great gift of grace precisely because sins are sins and they call for repentance and forgiveness.

• The fact is that a "minor exorcism" takes place in every Baptism and Confirmation ceremony when we renounce Satan and all his works and empty promises. This prayer service will be along those lines. I'm not saying that anyone involved in the redefinition of marriage is possessed by the devil, which, if that were the case, would require the remedy of a "Major Exorcism," but all of us are certainly subject to the devil's evil influences and in need of protection and deliverance from evil.
