Love in the time of a presidential election

 


No one said Christianity if easy. My latest article at Our Sunday Visitor newspaper.

Including:

 “Dearest Lord, please help (fill in the blank) stop being such a self-centered, slimy, sleazy … .” How could the God of all goodness not grant such a truly heartfelt prayer?

And if that political bag of wind and malevolence remains unchanged, doesn’t that mean he or she is refusing God’s graces (which, by the way, you helped set in motion)? It can’t be you. It can’t be God. So, whom does that leave? Yep. He or she still has free will and so (shrug) what’re ya gonna do?

 Hate the political position, love the person who holds it
