47's Holy Week Declaration

 



Have you ever seen anything like this from the White House? I haven't. Here, read 47's Holy Week Declaration:


This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.

Beginning with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating in the Paschal Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead.

During this sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross.  In His final hours on Earth, Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture, and execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all His creation.  Through His suffering, we have redemption.  Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins.  Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life.  On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness—signaling that death does not have the final word.

This Holy Week, my Administration renews its promise to defend the Christian faith in our schools, military, workplaces, hospitals, and halls of government.  We will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life, and protecting God in our public square.

As we focus on Christ’s redeeming sacrifice, we look to His love, humility, and obedience—even in life’s most difficult and uncertain moments.  This week, we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation.  We pray that America will remain a beacon of faith, hope, and freedom for the entire world, and we pray to achieve a future that reflects the truth, beauty, and goodness of Christ’s eternal kingdom in Heaven.

May God bless you and your family during this special time of year and may He continue to bless the United States of America.

 

Wow. And now, dear friends, the demons really hate him. Imagine if you can the UK's leaderene, 2TK, Two Tier Keir saying such a thing. For that matter, imagine King Charles III issuing a similar statement. You can't? Go figure. Sure, they can do Ramadan and Eid, Easter not so much.

Out demons out,

Crusty Old TV Tech here. Wow. Never have truer words been spoken in the White House. I think Pres DJT is the imperfect implement our Lord using for His perfect ends.

Well said!

That beautifully encapsulates The Faith on so many levels, a wonderful reminder of the reasons we believe what we do. Thank you for posting this, had not seen it but will re-read it often this week.

Even the vaunted JFK wasn't this religious.

And, seriously, we are in dark times. Dark times created by followers of dark powers. And these Dark Times often result in a religious revolution against the dark powers.

Side note, there are conservative Catholics and Christians who are fighting the forces of evil. Here's one by the TFP Student Action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2snuRR38OBY

This is becoming more common across this nation and across the world. Let us hope this resurgence of Christianity swells within England and Europe.

With little to no apology to the alleged monarch from whom I stole this:
We the People style thee Donald the Forty-fifth and Forty-Seventh, by the Grace of God of the United States and Gulf of America and of His other Resorts, Golf Courses and Territories President, Head of the Republic, Defender of the Faith, and MAGA SISU.

Meanwhile, support the "blackout":

Amen and amen! Glory to The Father, Son, Holy Ghost! Praying for His outpouring upon us all, with renewed potency in service of His Kingdom!

That video was beautiful!! What those anti-Christian people are doing is so dangerous. Satan is alive, well, and working overtime.

"Even the vaunted JFK wasn't this religious."
Perhaps he might have been had he survived his shooting the same way PDJT did. Of course, it has been stated; "Men will fire bullets, but God decides where they land"
Thanks for the TFPSA link. Very nice.

Beans said...

Too often our "Catholic" politicians have been nothing but satanic mask-wearing demonnspawn, like Pelosi or Biden. Or 'in name only' like Bush II.

Having an actual active Christian as a president is remarkable. Trump has done more for the Christian world than any other president in recent history.

And that TFPSA link made me cry. Where was this activity when I was floundering and in school? I would have loved to join a pilgrimage or a march.

Another group to watch is StudentsforLife. This is a group that actively works to stop the slaughter and gets a lot of crap thrown at it.

Again, where were these people when I was going to school? Why haven't both groups been recognized as doing God's work by the Roman Catholic Church?

Beans said...

What's funny about the 'blackout' is that stores, like Publix, that have done this for years are finally getting the recognition that, yes, they're doing this. Though it's nice to know that some places are also open for those that need it.

Watched “Sound of Freedom” the other night, never saw it prior…Tim Ballard is a hero to God. Remove the demand and the supply dries up; remove the suppliers and the demand whithers. Works across the board on any number problems.

I note that last year during Holy Week the former administration was celebrating transgenderism. God's grace that we are where we are at.

LSP said...

100% agree, Tech.

LSP said...

NFO, I think that declaration's a first. Quite a thing.

LSP said...

It's very good, Paul. Who wrote it? Good work.

LSP said...

Great link, Beans. There's definitely a revival in the wings.

LSP said...

Adrienne, keep the Faith!

LSP said...

Very good call, Anon. Btw, Ma LSP has always scorned JFK, by way of familial context.

LSP said...

Monsignor Beans, the Church moves very slowly, but she does move.

LSP said...

Wild, I wasn't aware of the blackout, and now I am. Thanks.

LSP said...

Right on, Beans.

LSP said...

Semper eternique, GenX.

LSP said...

DOS, I'd forgotten! Yes indeed they were. What demonic degeneracy.

Times they have changed (for the better.) Didn't Scranton Joe last year during Holy Week have trannies on the White House lawn?
