The war on innocent lives

I have received the following from Teresa Lynch, Regional Representative of the London Region OCDS, with the request that I publish it on the blog. I do so gladly.

 

'Recent Parliamentary Developments

 

The magnificent St Elijah, whose feast day we commemorate on the 20th of July, would consider some sections of our society to have turned their back on God’s laws. Our Lady’s consistent messages in her Apparitions, is for sinners to turn back to God and for people to make reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is so offended. The week of the 17th and 20th June 2025, saw two UK Bills passed in the House of Commons, both waging war against innocent lives at the beginning and end of life. This is a terrible blight on our parliamentary landscape and country. There will be a light in this darkness should members of the House of Lords show respect and dutifully defend and protect the lives of the vulnerable when scrutinising these legislative proposals.  We must remind them of this duty and pray for them, mindful that St Elijah was zealous for the glory of the Lord (Kings 19:10) and another great prophet reminds us that the Lord hates oppression and crime (Isaiah 61:8).'
